I don't think Howson did all that terrible on recent trades. He got more from Nash than most people expect(Anisimov + Erixon), more from Carter, getting Carter was a bit of an overpay but not by much really to land close to a 1C.

I'm just glad he realized that its a good idea to carry more than 2-3 top 4 NHL defenseman on your roster.

The trade he should be criticized most for is the Klesla deal and letting Hejda walk without having a decent replacement. Until Nikitin, Johnson came in, there defense was absolutely terrible. I think the Marlies might have had as good of a defense come to think of it.
