Toronto has so far been a wash. He's made a few decent moves, but a lot of crap that has me scratching my head.

As I see it, he has lost his touch that made him a really good GM in the late 90's and early part of the 2000's.
Trading away back to back first round picks when you're in full rebuild mode pretty much takes away and good will he has and puts him in the idiot category.
