It's his job to either sign the player or get something in return. He failed. To me, letting it go to the 11th hour is on Treleving. It should never get that far.

Lay out how he should have known, what the deadline was and what happens if it’s not met.
Then contrast that with what Gaudreau was saying at that time, and the fact he continued to negotiate the whole time. Why should Treliving have no confidence in signing him.
