Eh I dunno about that, he also gave away some really useful depth and 'cheap gems' in some horrible moves. He traded Joshua for 'future considerations' to St.Louis because I guess we didn't want to sign him?, Trevor Moore was traded in a package for Jack Campbell who is rotting away on the Oilers farm team while Moore has turned into a 30 goal scorer and sub-60 pt player, Marchment was infamously traded for Malgin, Barabanov was traded away quickly after not really getting an extended look here, he brought in Michael Amadio only to waive him and then Amadio turned into a valuable depth piece for Vegas in their Cup run, he traded for future 40-goal scorer McCann which seemed like a suave move only to expose him in the expansion draft to protect his boy Justin Holl, he couldn't come to terms with local boy Evan Rodrigues awho is another valuable depth player that just won a Cup and just let him walk after acquiring him in the Kapanen trade. Even Stefan Noesen who was acquired in the awful Foligno trade got to play 1 game, then he went to Carolina and turned into exactly the kind of player we would've wanted, a heavy winger who is a threat in the blue paint - I will cut Dubas a bit more slack on this one though as Noesen was near 30 when we got him and had bounced around the league a bunch after failing to crack an NHL roster.
Still, let all of these guys go just so we could keep around chodes like Alex Kerfoot, Engvall, and Justin Holl. It's like the anti-Midas touch.
