Also, gauging success of a GM based on a particular player re-signed or a particular trade being accomplished doesn’t seem fair. Hypothetically Treliving could make the best dollar offer to Gaudreau and still get rejected for other reasons (I said hypothetically folks). Several people judged him a failure because he didn’t trade for Eichel or Stone at the time. All of those things are dependant on third parties agreeing.
The only fair way to judge is overall success over time in whatever area you are looking at - signings, trades, coaches, etc.
