I think Maloney gets a wildly misplaced amount of criticism, considering his actual history vs his assumed history.

Maloney was the GM of the Coyotes for 9 years so yeah, he wasn't in a rush. He didn't exactly leave behind a juggernaut.
And his three years as GM of the islanders was rather abysmal.
I really don't believe his role with the club is all that meaningful but there is no evidence that he is all that great at building a contender. He strikes me as a good guy that has been around the game a long time and obviously has learned a thing or two.
