…Need some law books, with pictures this time…
EDIT: For clarification this is about JR over his entire time as GM, since the day he walked in the door till today.
What is your honest opinion of what he has done? After his first whole season, and even leading up into last season the fan base was pretty torn on the man.
What is your honest opinion of what he has done as a GM now two seasons in?

I give him a B+. So far this off season he has earned himself back into my good graces, he has actually gotten us to where we are not bare in draft picks and done basically everything he can to infuse our farm team with some talent while also adding a top line talent and reforming our bottom six. Our defense is highly questionable but after almost an entire decade of questionable forward groups I think the fan base is welcoming a solid forward group an willing to roll the dice on defense.
If he doesn't go into this seasons deadline and do another Despres type of horrible trade, and finds someone to help solidify the backend while not depleting our draft cupboard how Shero did I will love what JR has done with this team over the past two years (Despres trade excluded, but even he has admitted fault for that so what's the point in beating that dead horse).
He has had me raising my eyebrow here and there since coming to Pittsburgh, but overall I give him a B+ overall over his 2 years here.
Your thoughts?
