B+... Only issue I have is that on paper we are a first, possibly second round exit.
Gonna say B. If hill re-signs at a decent price then it goes up to an A.
Wtf does that have to do with anything? Look at what he had to work with and what he accomplished. What more could have realistically been done? What could have been done worse? There's your A.
It's my opinion... What could've he done? I'm no GM so I don't know. We'll see what happens with Hill and Johnson before I'm calling this an A. There are obvious question marks that still are unanswered. Calling this an A at this point is already calling it a success with no room for improvement. A b+ is still a pretty high grade.
Agreed... but if you study the landscape you can't come away with any opinion other than we got great value, made good moves, and out-performed, on the surface, any other team. That's an A.
We ain't talkin hindsight.
Well we did lose something with some value too. Hill was not acquired for nothing. If hill goes elsewhere next year then I think that was actually a bad trade.He tiptoed through a veritable minefield and managed to still make a couple of potentially impactful acquisitions. Hard to say anything but A here.
