His quick fix (Huberdeau, Kadri, Weegar) looked good on paper but so far a disaster on the ice.

Wonder what they are going to do with him this summer. Seems like easy decision to me.
I think Treliving is the one making a decision about them, not the other way around.

Every team has free agent signings that don't turn out. That's not unique.

The big issue was the Monahan/Gaudreau core not being what it needed to be to build a hockey team around.

A healthier Monahan might have made for some very different seasons.
