The lawyers and assistants do all the grunt work. Which is his bidding. He then approves it with a signature or a hand shake, the deal is approved.

This is true, however if he can't read he can't know what's on that contract.

When the offers came over from an agent he needed someone else to do it.

and yes, that is my point, they didn't "assist him" they did his job, and even he admits this.

I have nothing personal against the guy and I'm sure he's a great hockey mind, from a business stand point, I can't see someone handing him another GM job, knowing that he lied and wasted money etc...

I understand why he did it, don't get me wrong there. I'm not saying he didn't do "what was right for him" but he didn't do what was right for the team aka "the business".
