I think he’s done a really good job with what he was given. Sure it’s great to think the barometer is to become a contender right away or to see something incredible but the reality is that was not going to happen. In my books he’s easily an A for what he’s done so far.
Amadio, Perron, Jensen, Ullmark, Cousins have all been great additions to the team and have all made a positive impact.
Getting out from the Korpisalo contract while acquiring Ullmark was tidy work. Making that deal and having the confidence that he could get Ullmark signed was impressive.
I love Josh Norris but moving him with the injury history and acquiring Cozens and a 2nd rounder was really incredible work. You can think whatever you want about Cozens and this is a deal you make every single time.
Travis Green has done a real good job with the players, the style of play, commitment to defense, and keeping guys accountable.
The only move I question is the Zetterlund move which looked like a great deal off the hop. I understand why the deal was made and the limitations Staios had to manage cap wise to improve the team at the deadline so it’s definitely not a deal I would be mad about. I’m definitely way higher than others on Ostapchuk but it wasn’t a bad trade all in all.
After that he signed Greig and Matinpalo to good deals. Keeping Greig at 4 years where he’s still an RFA is real good positioning for the team going forward.
Big summer ahead with some interesting decisions to make and opportunities to improve the team. I am fully confident with him. Everything is thought out and calculated and that’s what you love to see. Won’t always work out perfectly but he’s doing everything to improve the team and it’s easy to understand his thought process … all you can ask for.
