Yeah Johansen sucks and so does Drouin but he gets no credit for Wood (contract isn’t great, I know that)? Colton? Kiviranta? Olofsson? Caleb Jones? Tufte? Tatar?
Colton was the only real win. Great move, that will only get better. He plays the game the right way.
Wood not really a win in my books. I don't hate the player but that contract sucks. Players of his caliber really shouldn't be getting more than 3 years we doubled it. It's going to be bad down the the line.
Tatar is ok, as long as he continue his play of the last 3 games, where is very engaged in the play. His first 10, was atrocious. So I guess jury is out on this one depending on his play moving forward.
RyJo/Drouin, beyond bad decisions by CMac.
As for the minor/depth players, yeah he gets a plus there but at the end of the day the expectations for these guys were very small.
I guess my takeaway is you can't miss on all the expected big pieces except 1, and then claim all the small pieces as wins and call it a wash. I'd say at best were looking at 80% bad 20% good for CMac, which is nowhere near good enough. Can't be missing on more than 1 bigger piece IMO.
