That sort of absolves the GM if it turns out to be a poor move. I just don't think you can heap praise (or blame) on a GM until the results start to come in to validate the risks you've taken, however exciting they may seem at the time they happen. I also think he is underappreciated for the things he has done over the years that have flown under the radar screen, including player drafting/development, re-signing Miller before he hit UFA, etc.

I love his music, I think he's really talented. Plus I get a kick out of so many people HATE HIM with a passion. It makes me laugh. He reminds me of an irl troll.

I know I wanted Darcy to get that chance without the owner handcuffing him. So far so good. Some over payment... now we have to see what trades he pulls off.

Overall I'm a very happy camper with what he has done. Now we have to see what it results in.
