Chucky basically wanted to be in Florida asap from the moment he was drafted. Again it wouldn't have mattered who the GM was here.
Tre made the very best of a very difficult situation and kept the team competitive.

Agree with this assessment of Treliving’s work up to the point of signing the new players to long term contracts.
I think the experience with Gaudreau and Tkachuk made Treliving too willing to open the purse strings. He was working in fear of a similar problem with Weegar and Huberdeau when their current contracts expire, and over paid them. Huberdeau is playing at a level that deserves his current contract or less, and the near doubling of that contract next year will put the team in cap Hell for a long time.
