Without Brad Treliving making the deals he did, the team does not have Lindholm or Hanifin. He saw a need to stock up on RW and revamp the defence, and he did both of those things. For the total amount of money he spent and the assets he traded, the total impact on the team has been fantastic. But he had no way of knowing how each individual piece would perform, and neither did anyone else.

It’s remarkable to me that a failed free agent signing in Brouwer received so much angst ans disdain here yet an equally if not potentially worse free agent signing in Neal isn’t receiving anywhere close to the same amount.

It's been three months, and there has been plenty already. Brouwer was here for two years. Not everybody is CanadaMatt, calling for a guy's head the same day he signs with the team.
