I gave Tim an 'F' because I wanted him to get rid of Meszaros, Benoit and Weber.

I understand the trades that were completed, but none of them really returned us any great assets.
The return on Stewart was weak. I will happily give up next year's second round pick if it gives me a forward that can kick Lucic's ass.
Yeah, that Mitchell return, more I think about it....
Only way I could live with it is if Murray made a nod wink with Mitchell about sending him to his hometown in exchange for him giving some consideration to the sabres in July. That's really not a return any NHL player should ever get, and Mitchell can be an effective bottom 6 guy, good energy, smart head, bears down on his few chances. If any team wanted him at all, he deserved a fifth at least.
Everything else is in the ballpark. It's just that one deal that stands out so strongly, it almost makes you wonder if there isn't more to it. Like some others have said, I'd take Mitchell over Stewart if I were building a contender. Just bizarre. Also make me wonder if Murray didn't set himself up for a nonnegotiable, awful offer like that when he went to the media and said he wanted to get rid of all his ufas even if he had to take back a sixth.

I gave an F because they're trying to fail
And none of these moves were interesting. I guess Flynn was a little surprising in that other teams would give up anything for him.
