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.

Draisaitl was paid as if he carried a line when he had zero history of doing that.
When did I mention 15 GMs? You have an issue with me saying "it is pretty much agreed" in the same post where you claim "nobody agrees". That's pretty rich.
But as I said I couldn't care less that you don't like Treliving. It's a defendable position in my mind. I don't have to agree with it though, or do I not count enough to flip that switch away from "nobody"?
