Not sure he excelled at RFA contracts and trades either. The Tkachuk RFA contract was terrible and his trades were a real mixed bag. The Hamonic trade was in the top 5 worst trades in franchise history, and many of his deadline trades were a complete waste of picks to add depth to already deep positions.
But yes, free agency and spending way too much on 4th liners and 5-6-7 defensemen was his worst attribute.
