Let's be honest, it would be better to have someone who can actually get the deed done

He's a young GM in a tough market.

I think his issue is that he's always trying to find a bargain which is why his help in the top six was PArenteau, Sekac, Semin, Kassian

You are just making excuses now. If he doesn't address it by the deadline, he should be fired

I'm not making excuses, I understand that making deals during the season is very difficult which is why I wouldn't be surprised if we only get another plug that may not even be a top six but will be used as one.

My disappointment is from two off seasons he didn't do anything to improve the top six...the off season is when you should be making significant changes.
 
Last 2 deadlines he has acquired a to 3 forward and a top 4 D-man.

I think that is his M.O. Save the cap space and try to land a guy at the deadline rather than getting into a pissing match in free agency.

Ok, we can wait until this offseason, but if he fails again, Geoff should take the hit and fire him and replace him with someone who can address our needs

He's had two summers to replace Vanek by another legit top six forward....

Galchenyuk led all forwards in ice time through 2 periods with 11:10.

Subban is logging big minutes. 18:53 through 2. Markov 17:39.

Vanes was a rental, but I'll play along and say fine he got Vanek

But that was two years ago and he hasn't replaced him since

Free agency has been really weak. There has not been any high end talent available. This team, when healthy, is a playoff team. Without blowing the cap or emptying the farm, I think that the best strategy the Habs can have is to save cap space and try to acquire top talent at the deadline.
