But I also don't want a GM that has himself talked into having to make a decision and just taking what he can get regardless of value.
Without knowing what he's pursued and what he's turned down this is just a conversation where people that hate the guy are saying they hate him, and people that support the guy are saying to keep him.
Not enough information to be upset or defend the guy.
Silly.

I think this is why the Johnny piece is such an important part of the off-season. He hasn't talked himself into having to make a decision, but the nature of Johnny's contract is (possibly) forcing his hand a bit.
We know there is a pinch point just days away, and I think we all agree that the team should not put itself in the position where they go into next season with a pending UFA Johnny Gaudreau who has a very restrictive NTC. In my eyes, it's a very clear asset management exercise and I'm interested to see how Tree deals with it. We know he's in contract negotiations with Johnny, and I'm hoping we see some sort of decisive action resulting from the outcome of those negotiations.
