Yeah one could argue the Brouwers or Neal's of it all but those were positional needs being filled. Still can't fault him for Neal, thats all on Neal for immediately failing at life.
But in the guts of it and thinking term and dollars and contract stuff, hes really good at managing that. No one really considered the asset management angle of the Hamilton trade when it went down. But when it came to light all the factors, Tree hit the nail on the head.
What I am saying is, when we are wading into big trade waters , I dont really want anyone else at the helm but Tree.

Tre was voted #9 in THN's GM rankings a few years back, and I would argue that some of his early moves (namely the Brouwer signing)were Burke's idea. I think Tre is too thoughtful and analytical to sign a guy like that. He's one of those big, "truculent" meatheads with bad advanced stats that Burkie likes.
