No.

He's actually over-hated. Made some real nice moves recently, outside of Loui.

He’s not the absolute worst but not anywhere near the best either

He isn't the worst. It's hard to lay a ton of blame on him when he also has to contend with meddlesome owners. He's not a bad GM. Dorion is a worse GM and has meddlesome ownership on top of being a bad GM.

Not the worst but he’s made two great finds and then bombed on the other two and those are easy to understand, and those two bombs in 16 and 14 could turn out well turn out still but who would you rather have right now OJ and Jake or Tkachuk and Nylander/Ehlers.

His cap management skills or lack there-of aren’t the best, he’s probably on a hard position playing pupped to the aquilinnis and then the whole Trevor situation.

Trace size he’s done okay actually but as far as feee agent signings? Yikes.

That being said there’s still probably a few GMs worse, maybe bottom five or bottom ten but a little early to judge.
