Letting Gaudreau get into the final year of that contract without the extension was the mistake. Conroy admitted that in his comments. If this was knowledge gained from this event, then that is fine. But Treliving, an “experienced and top GM in the game” should have understood this. Sadly he made the same mistake multiple times before so he really wasn’t a student of his own mistakes. Defend the stupidity all you want, but it was predicted and came to fruition, much to the detriment of the hockey club.
