The GM is the guy in charge so every move ultimately falls on his shoulders, but playing a little bit of "what if" game and/or devils advocate.
I put any of the guys with NSH ties that have been acquired squarely on Fenton.
What if Fenton was following the advice of the Wild's scouting staff for the the UFA signings and Nino/Rask trade? Then after seeing the results, he realized they were just bad at their jobs.
How often did we hear about Wild scouts being at other teams' games as the TDL approached? I wasn't paying a lot of attention to it, but I don't recall seeing the Wild show up on many "who is scouting who" reports. It's also entirely possible that he had them go incognito and get tickets from Stubhub or something like that.
There are just random 3am questions that popped into my head.
