Or, better yet, you could offer an argument for how Treliving manages to complete the Kadri deal? Or would you have preferred he not bother to make this trade at all?

I don’t agree with that. Tree knows Kadri has an NTC. He negotiated a deal knowing it was there, and assumed Kadri would waive. It’s a worthwhile shot, but it’s not like Tree was surprised by the fact Kadri had an NTC. His mistake to assume he’d waive.
Players getting injured is entirely random. If a player didn’t prepare properly and didn’t stretch/wasn’t doing their prep properly...perhaps I get that argument.
GM’s have to execute the same way players have to execute. The effort is good, and needed. Just like the players who didn’t short change us on effort these playoffs, but rather just failed to execute.
I’m not overly negative on Tree, but am firmly in the “no excuses” camp.
