The Hall situation is not crapping the bed. Treliving tried to get a deal done, but the Devils chose an offer that was centered around picks. And probably more importantly, the Devils wouldn't let the Flames talk to Hall.
When I read all that, I think "good job, Treliving", not "you crapped the bed, Trelving". I don't want a GM that pays whatever it takes to get deals done - they only make sense for your team if they're done at the right price. And in this case, I wouldn't have wanted a rental, only a signed Hall. So I am very happy with how Treliving played it.
But to each their own, I guess.
