The Kinder, Gentler Version
Meh. That’s hyperbole. He spins his wheels. Guy makes trade after trade and moves out core pieces like nothing. He gets nowhere for it.Chayka has unironically set that franchise back further than the day he was hired
He'll never get close to another GM job again
He handled Doan poorly. It meant nothing, in the long-run. He lost the Domi deal clearly but the team at least he Galchenyuk to show for it. He lost the Strome deal probably, but at least the team has Schmaltz who looked great before injury. The Hayton pick was questionable, but it doesn’t yet look completely terrible.
I’d say he’s failed to move the team forward and even set the team back a bit. He’s been a smug prick about it too and he doesn’t seem any closer to humility or wisdom. I’d fire him because I don’t have faith in his leadership and decision making. I don’t think his moves have really destroyed the franchise or anything. Domi and Strome is a better duo than Galchenyuk and Schmaltz but not at the franchise destruction level.
