Now building up a ton of depth at C and not having right wingers, that’s on him. The coaching debacles. On him, too.
Couldn’t get fair market value for a core piece? Johnny had a sub par season. He got zero points in 135 minutes when Ritchie was inexplicable stapled to him. You think other GMs are looking at his season and willing to value him as high?
Being a GM is strategic as well as transactional. The challenges in his recent, short time frame game are exacerbated by his own poor performance in his longer term game

Nope ... I think the limitations I listed is obvious and easy to spot. That's why I said it.
You have proof that Monahan didn't actually have surgeries? That would be something else.
Hell I don't even have an issue if you want to say he should have taken anything (pennies on the dollar) to effect change. That's a way to go for sure.
But when you need to change a core that is waning it's not a huge leap to suggest you have to take a bath on a trade (option A) or ride it out and see if you can rebound their value (option B), both of which are in effect a plan.
Your Gaudreau comments are agreeing with me aren't they? His value is down. Sutter put him with Ritchie, not Treliving. Or do you think Sutter is the type to have Treliving set the roster and the lines?
