I give Francis a lot of grief but he hasn't been a "bad" GM. Just mediocre. However, depending on how. this TDL and off-season go, my opinion can change drastically.

Sending kartye down on conditioning. Should give him 10 games in the minors and tell him to work on his offense. Get his confidence back there, then try again.

Couldn't hurt. Kartye has been disappointing this season. He could easily be replaced by Meyers, Stephens or other AHL players we have. Will get tougher for him next season if Nyman, Winterton, etc. are ready for the NHL jump.
nyman shouldn't be playing in the nhl as a 4th line player though...

Nyman is the kind of player who could work in that role to start. Jumbo started as a 4th line player on the Bruins back in the day. Nyman has the size to make it work.
Every team has its Kartyes, cheap bottom six players that help teams cope with the salary cap. To paraphrase Ringo, he does not loom large in our legend.

I’m not super sure there’s a deep reservoir of “offense” for him to tap into. His breakout season melded into the teams magical playoff run but may have been just as much of a flash in the pan?

For sure. He is a cheap 4th liner but like @kihei said, almost every team has a few of those. Also, Stephens, Meyers, etc. can do the same job.

Let's all remember that Kartye was an undrafted guy who made it to the league within two years.
If a guy like that gives you 100+ games)which he nearly has) you've done a fantastic job.
And he could still become a solid bottom six guy for a few more seasons.
