I think it’s a sad day for the organization but may also be for the best. Many of us view Tre as a “wizard” who was one of the most active GMs in the league. But at the same time, the results of the overall body of work are not great. Is he leaving the organization in a better position than when he joined it? Hard to know for sure but I think most of us would say no.
The hardest thing to hear in that presser was the admission that they had a rebuild package on the table for Tkachuk and they chose the win-now package. Hindsight is 20-20 but after missing the playoffs anyway it sure sucks to think of the picks/prospects (and not to mention cap space) we might have had instead.
I guess in the end that’s on Treliving too.
