At least he learned by not making the same mistake with Colborne.
Stajan - Burke
Wideman - Feaster
Smid - Feaster
Engelland - Worth every penny
All of those except Stajan are about to expire and only 1 year left on Stajan.
Frolik, Gaudreau, Monahan, Brodie, Hamilton, Gio, Backlund are the big contracts that are on the books that Tre signed and they are worth ever penny.

I never said he did a bad job as a GM. But when casual fans can tell a signing is bad right away it's concerning that a pro does that. Raymond I can forgive in the rebuild stages. Brouwer I can forgive as we desperately needed a RW. Engelland I can forgive as we needed toughness on D. What I can't forgive is paying all 3 of those guys 2m a season more than they need. Most of this doesn't effect today's roster directly but it could have effected past trade discussions and even free agency. We will never know. I just hope we're done signing silly contracts.
I don't really wanna discuss this anymore and this probably isn't the right thread. Hopefully this clears up the confusion on where I stand.
Really interested to hear what people think about a deal surrounding halak/Stajan like in my first post.
