MB has had more than one chance... he's been given four years and hasn't done anything of note with it. If we had won the cup this year for example... how much credit would you have given him for having Price carry us to a cup? The core has come from previous regimes and almost entirely through the draft. If you want to credit somebody for this team, credit Trevor Timmins because he's the one who built it.
This team has contender written all over it and our GM has saddled us with a horrific coaching group and done nothing substantial to help this team despite glaring holes on the wing. Jeff Petry and a bunch of grinders isn't good enough.
And if that isn't bad enough, how about what he's said? Trades are hard. We can't draft impact players in the draft when we're picking low. We can't sign free agents... He's said he wants to build through the draft but hires a coach who plays vets over kids. He doesn't trade up in drafts. Doesn't really have any marquee prospects to show for himself and he hasn't added anything because according to him: "this isn't playstation." Sorry but that's not good enough. We should've fired him along with the coaching staff here and in the AHL and started over.
This guy is operating under a simple biconditional. GM X is a good GM(statement P) iff his team's regular season record while he is employed by his team is good(statement Q).
Biconditionals are true if both statements in it are true or if both statements in it are false. The counterexample is when one of the statements false and the other true.
Since a biconditional is the as saying both
If P, then Q
If Q, then P
are true. If either of these conditionals have even one instance where it is false, the biconditional is also false. Has there even been one case in which a currently employed GM suffered many losing seasons but was still "good"? Has there even been one case in which the team's regular season record over some period of time was good but the GM was bad? If there is for either of these scenarios, the bi-conditional is false and hence one cannot define a GM's performance solely by the team's performance while he is currently employed.
