[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1416570, member: 588522"] Generally I agree, but I still think a lot of other GMs would've panicked, probably tried to trade one of the core guys for something quality back, maybe not resign both Kane and Toews, etc. That took balls to tie up that kind of money and it worked (though we are seeing a little bit of the issue here, again hindsight). And you're forgetting a ton of the little things he did that did bolster the roster. Sure he traded guys like Teuvo, Hartman, and Danault away. But signing Panarin, drafting guys like Schmaltz and Debrincat, those are quality moves. There were plenty of little signings too that helped the team out. Like I said, still think he's a top half of the league GM, but this upcoming season is going to be very telling. Might change my tune at the end. [/QUOTE]
