Why? Because you say so?
Hudler is slow, old, small and injury-proned. And he was a free agent.

Again because you say so? And BT didn't let Cammalleri go. Feaster did.

Never mind actually signing Grossmann, whom the coach had pure nepotistic relationship with.
I didn't say Jokipakka was better. He's not. But would you want them to have Russel back at his ticket?

But not only was Treliving personally familiar with the player, the player hardly signed elsewhere right away, whereas Mason Raymond was a day one signing.
A reach to criticize him for letting a player go that he didn't. Raymond was a bad signing. Meh.

Neither of these guys matter at all.
