Why the rabbit hole? I think it's pretty much agreed that Treliving's strength has been RFA signings. If you don't like the guy no problem, but are you trying to change my mind?
He was paid as a first line winger, he has a very similar contract to Tarasenko. He had very similar numbers to Tarasenko. Not sure why you think he was paid as a first line center, he was paid similar to other first line wingers over 8 years in a RFA situation.

Nobody agrees that his strength has been RFAs. When supporters like yourself are presented with evidence that there are many GM’s that are better than him you say you do not have time to see how the other GMs have done. There is zero chance you can show that he is in the top 3 GMs in the league for RFA signings, low chance you can even place him in the top 7.

Earlier you say he is great and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Then it became “it is pretty much agreed that his strength is RFAs”. I would say it is not agreed and it would be difficult to put him in the great category you said he was in and that it would be difficult to find 15 GM’s he is definitely better than. Which would put his strength right at average. I am not trying to change your mind, it would be nice to see a counter argument with some semblance of evidence from the “Treliving is great at RFA signings, it is a strength” that actually shows why he is better than his peers. Without that it is basically a meaningless statement.
