When we signed Neal, the vast majority of us were very excited. Finally, we had a RW
who could possibly complement Mony and Johnny. He had many suitors, so it was a
coup to get him.
Same can be said with our aquisitions of Elliott and Smith. I doubt many people (including the pundits) could've predicted they all could turn out so bad, in fact-Tre was universally praised in the Hockey world for these moves. I think he should get another chance to right the ship.

I agree that it's tough to argue with a lot of his moves with players. He mostly has done well with players. I don't like what he's done with coaches, but I honestly don't mind him having another try at hiring a coach either. Tre is not the root of the organizations mediocrity. One more chance to hire a coach and make big moves with players is okay with me even though I'm not really much of a fan of his.
