He made some nice tweaks before our playoff run in 04. That offseason he also acquired Langkow for Saprykin and Gauthier. Followed up by acquiring Huselius for Montador. Two huge wins. Turning Leopold and a 2nd for Tanguay was another solid move. He had to make some patchwork signings, because at that time the cap was low and coming off the 04 playoff run, expectations were as high as ever. Fact is he brought in our franchise goaltender for pennies. At least he was smart enough to sign those filler guys like Amonte and Nolan to short term low money deals.
