I did not do any crying at the deal Treliving signed, we actually got great value from it along with the Tkachuck deal.
Even if he was signed to a 8 year deal he could have simply asked for a trade as well.
Personally think Treliving is a top gm and yeah he has made mistakes, but his free agent contracts the worst so far looks to be Kadri because he has kept the length short. Markstom looks bad now but we got value out of it the previous season I don't think anyone saw him putting up Jonas HIller numbers.

I think you have to throw in extensions as well as UFAs, so Huberdeau's is looking pretty darned risky. Though I think there it was 8 or nothing, which also would have been heavily criticized.
