Sure there are circumstances outside of Treliving's control, such as Stone's health or Hiller's vertigo (or whatever that was). But I don't consider this a strong track record no matter how many of these deals you forgive.
I mean, if you choose to simply ignore every one of Treliving's best UFA contracts, then yeah, it doesn't look good at all.
