“Saddled”. He has been GM for seven years, you are taking the Treliving apologism to new heights IMO.

It’s funny if his recent UFA signings were playing poorly after 39 games we’d be saying far too early to judge.But Tanev is earning his salary so far, no arguments here.

We can agree or disagree on how good a job the GM has done, but I don’t get how he escapes accountability.
