It still fails to make sense how the GM continues to have a job for having achieved so little.

You can't force players to sign long term. I don't fault him for Mangiapane as if Treliving gambles on a long term deal and Mangiapane has a poor season then fans are jumping on him for tying up money and term into an unproven player. As for Tkachuk it sounds like the player and agent did not want to commit long term and want to keep all their options open.
