That terrible contract is what should get Treleiving fired.

I don't like that contract either, but that was the only way you were going to get him signed when the blueprint was cast for 2nd contracts.
That summer Provorov, McAvoy, Konecny, Boeser and Point all signed deals with spiking last year's on their contracts.
