Well I didn’t say Treliving is or was stupid I said the better decision could have been (we will find out in a week) to trade him back in January at the latest IF Gaudreau would not have signed by an internally provided deadline for a long term extension. It’s called maintaining negotiating leverage / power instead of giving it away like we did.
As to your other question, I will ask you back. Do you think with the season he was having a team would have picked him up for a playoff run or a chance to make the playoffs?
