So what is his great GM record?

He flew to Sweden to try and sign Gustaffson the goaltender from Sweden.
What has he done?
-Shed the contract of Kubina to free up $ to sign the best defensive d man in the pool.
-His draft was given an A+ to A- in every publication
-Made the Leafs tougher since we got pushed around horribly.
-Dealt Antropov and Moore for 2nd rounders which we draft two great players.
He's only been the GM for half a year and he had a ton a shit to deal with from Fergie's tenure.
