10 years of being a GM has he hit a HR so to speak ? 10 years what marquee player has brought in through a trade? through Free Agency ? The Draft ?

McAvoy the closest .
He inherited a team full of superstars and HOF. In 10 years he hasn’t done much to add onto it.
He got the 2 rook and the king on the chess board from the draft in carlo McAvoy and swayman. That's foundational pieces for sure.

If you mean the actual acquisition of Backes didn’t work out, especially at that price point, I agree. I thought you were referring to him in terms of just that series. I would have played him in game 7. He had something to prove. We should never have lost game 7 at home, and Marchy’s crap line change and Accari not getting up off the ice when a penalty was not called are seared in my memory (as is how skillfully Berube (ironically, a former goon) worked the refs with his whining.
Cassidy got outcoached by Berube in that series. And yeah, I probably would have played Backes vs his former team in a Game 7 instead of Karson Kuhlman (the UMD guy I couldn’t recall).

Forgot to mention that he also inherited 3 first round picks in a deep draft. zilch to show for that also. Oh and Berg and Krecj decided to play for peanuts a few years ago.

I still don't get how people think he's a great GM. Average at best.

Trade Coyle AND Freddie because they are UFA’s, Carlo in the right deal and keep Zacha.

You probably won’t get a ton for Zacha and he’s shown that he can put up 50-60 points in the right situation. You aren’t getting that from either Freddie or Geekie in their best years ever.
Its not all about points when constructing a winning team. Zacha is not a guy I'm willing to hitch my playoff roster wagon to.

Im sure the rest of the league knows what he is at this point, We got him for peanuts
