Why do people even try to make the argument about ‘good seasons’?
That roster was blown up, gutted, and the team was absolutely not supposed to make the playoffs when they won a round. Tre was in ‘seeing what he had’ mode, likely trying to figure out who was ‘his guy’ when Hartley pulled out a Jack Adams season.
We also have many times run through the season by season recap of his tenure including the last year. Remember the 3 headed goalie monster, hurt Brodie, shaky first 20 Hamilton, historically bad Hiller, the Wideman incident leading to a step change up in penalties against the team, the Ramo injury?
Quite a bit of adversity for a young team
Tre could have made any number of rationalizations but couldn’t fire him soon enough
