When it was signed, it looked fine. Blaming Treliving for making a reasonable deal 18 months ago just because Raymond has not produced is unfair on the GM.

Pretty sure that deal was criticized from Day 1. Raymond's deficiencies were well known, and he wasn't the same player from his earlier Canuck days. He made the Leafs off a PTO, in other words had no value. He had wanted to sign with the Flames that offseason but Feaster had no interest.
