GMs dont get an A for effort. The Rantanen saga was an absolute failure by Tulsky, but mainly because he is a hockey outsider. He's not part of the longtime old boys club, which may have afforded him more access/vetting of Rantanen if he were. At the end of the day, you got a dwarf in Stankhoven who probably maxes out as a low end 2nd liner and a couple 1st round lotto tickets that are more likely to be used as trade chips. Goaltening continues to be crap and the forwards still are not fear inducing. Dundon is the problem. Im grateful that Viola hands Zuto the keys to the car and gtfo's.
Andersen has a much better stat line than Bob, and Kotchetkov's is basically the same as Bob. Do you consider your team's goaltending to "be crap"?
Also, if turning
Necas + Drury + 2nd + 4th into
Hall + Stankoven + two 1sts + two 3rds
is an "absolute failure", I hate to see what your requirements for success are. A 7th for McDavid minimum?
