The Burns trade is up in the air, it looks like a win/win for both teams as long as Coyle and Phillips continue to develop.
As for signings:
Torrey Mitchell
Martin Havlat
Niklas Backstrom (extension)
Eric Nystrom
Zenon Konopka
Look bad. There are some others as well, but most noticeably.
Letting:
Andrew Brunette
Owen Nolan
Antii Miettinen
John Madden
Chuck Kobasew
All walk for nothing.
Is he a bad GM? No. Is he a great GM? No.
He's a good transition GM that makes okay moves. He set this team up in a weird direction (more like no direction) and we're still trying to iron out a few things.
On the flip... and this is off the top of my head
Brodziak for a 4th
Lattendresse for Pouliot
Havlat for Heater (Havlat + Mitchell deals free up almost $7mil this summer)
Pominville for Zadorov/2nd/larsson/hackett...Pominville extension
Nino for RFA Clutterbuck and a 3rd
Matt Moulson/McCormick for 2 2nds and Torrey Freakin Mitchell
Signing Parise and Suter!!!!
I'm sure there are more good trades and signings, but again, this is off the top of my head. Take a look at the last 4 deals he's made. Backup goalie, which was a necessity. He added offensive depth through 3 lines, and he acquired a potential all star talent for a song.
