The Huby trade was a terrible trade from the start, he only made that move to buy himself time
He was forced to sign two guys to long-term deals who had both already peaked as a return for Tkachuck
The Lucic for Neal trade solved nothing for either team (not a win either)
Hamilton for those picks turned out to be fair value, those picks could have easily all been roster players and turned out bad for BT, he just got lucky that those picks were all busts
The Zadorov and SB deals were both good tho.
A lot of his "bad" trades aren't really his fault, you can't blame him that the other team made good selections with those picks either. That's out of his control entirely, the Elliot and Toffoli trades are hard to blame on him though the Hamonic one was downright disgusting from the start. The leafs picking him over Dubas may be the reason they don't win in the AM34 era
