Ted Leonsis Extends Ernie Grunfeld

I just want to hear opinions from Redskins fans that also follow the Bullets what they think of this. Also Capitals fans what they think of extending Ernie Grunfeld. The Bullets fans tend to inexplicably approve of any move the Bullets make but the majority are pretty pist this time. Grunfeld has made a lot of moves this season that clearly display he is incompetent.

I am hellaciously pist off. This guy has shown repeatedly this year that he has not learned from his past mistakes and he does not know how to build a team. He signed Andray Blatche to a $35 million extension, we then boo Blatche off our team. He follows that up by instead trading away J.McGee and N.Young for Nene, who blows up our salary cap and doesn't get a draft pick out of it, and Blatche is still sitting on our roster. The guy has been in D.C. for 8 years, we have won a single playoff series in that time.

I don't follow the Capitals very closely but I watch the playoffs where they've struggled. Is this the same thing that has happnened with the Caps, I'm hearing that the fans never wanted George McPhee but Leonsis has kept him for the whole Ovechkin era. I don't know enough about hockey though to tell if the GM is competent or not.
