Tree has a thing for a very specific type of player. It works when hes tinkering with the team depth, but not when it comes to building a top six. Unless he learned from his time here I could see a similar decay with his new team.
One of the issues is i think skill came secondary at times, and as a result this group he built was lacking pure skill outside of Johnny and Matthew.
The ironic thing is he/they emphasized character with their players and in the end as he departs the group is far from a tight knit group with any notable leadership to carry it.
