- Too many picks for Studnicka & Brassard - jury is out for me on Brassard but Moore + 1 or 2 picks should have got Studnicka. That would mean the rest of the picks were for Brassard - significant overpay.
- The handling of the Incze situation. If he wasn't going to get ice he should have been traded much earlier (for Colton's benefit) perhaps even last year.
- I will give credit for the Chris Paquette to Peterborough trade last year. Getting 4 picks for Paquette was a stroke of genius.
I'm not even going to get into the rumours of the on again / off again trades with Oshawa or Owen Sound. I'm also not saying he can't become a good GM. He is inexperienced. He hasn't paid his dues yet. He needs to learn and grow. I believe he has brought in players that are going to make the Dogs a strong candidate to make it to Halifax but it could have been done cheaper. Joey will learn and be better for it.

London isn’t giving you a second or conditions so not happening next Paquette and Robertson was a good deal I thought he would go for more picks plus a player (Constantinou) Martin for Paquette is seems alright. The Studnicka trade MAYBE it was 1 pick too many but everyone says that about every trade a team makes. The Colton thing was caused by Colton so it’s whatever (they didn’t have many/ if any trade partners till Windsor made that move. As for the rumours they happen could it be handled better sure but everyone would’ve tried to get the better players before going to the Oshawa deal it didn’t work out 💩 happens
