He deserves his fair share of responsibility, perhaps the most as GM, but I strongly suspect his decisions were supported by others and maybe even overrode by others.

I am sure everyone is glad that Brad is someone else’s problem now. All reports are that Brad ran a one man show when it came to hockey decision so doubt he was overruled by anyone. Sometimes he got jammed by the NHL not accepting his trades, like when he tried to get Zucker but doubt he had much internal restrictions.
