that's nice, but you could probably name 3 bad things for every good one he did
most of the cleaning house took place before he got there, and they tanked for 1 year and got Matthews as old man Lou rode in on his white horse and took all the credit
he refused to make any bold moves and take a shot while their young stars were on their EL contracts
refused to address their blueline and give them a real shot this season
now Nylander is on to his 2nd contract next season, Matthews & Marner in 19-20
they're paying Martin, Zaitsev, and Hainsey $10MM in 18-19

Maybe off to Carolina for Faulk (reasonable). Maybe off to NYI for whoever their 7th defenseman is (more likely given his moronic trade record).
zero chance you get Faulk for the 10th pick
one of Pulock / Pelech / Mayfield seems way more likely
