Yes but really that's much more rare isn't it? How many July 1st's do we all sit here amazed at some of the incredibly poor contracts handed out? NHL GM's screw up a lot. The fact that Trelving could be considered an average GM given his blunders is telling of how bad GM's are in general in this league. I will give GM's a pass when it comes to drafting as nobody has a crystal ball when it comes to predicting how good a teenage hockey player will be playing against men but pro scouting in this league sucks period.
