Give me a Lou or Rutherford any day as they always seem to build winning teams and have the analytics guys providing some info to them but not driving them.

Couldn't disagree more. It's not to say Dubas has been perfect, because obviously the contracts handed out were a little more than what other GMs would have caved to, but his moves have generally been solid. They've drafted really well, and got a 1A goaltender for a song. He's trying the run and gun style which is a little untested, but the team is on pretty good footing. Again, the Leafs aren't a great team, but they're on solid footing.
If I'm looking critically at Lou, look at his years post Brodeur. He was atrocious right before leaving NJ and joining Toronto. Everyone is debatable over the course of their careers.
