lol, Treliving also had a reputation of keeping things close to the vest and working alone and Conroy also said he didn't agree with his approach to the Gaudreau and Tkachuk situation. Targeting Kadri when he was younger was fine. Paying assets to overpay him as an UFA is a different situation. All in in bet on two years of cheap Lindholm/Hanifin contracts.
Brouwer to Neal to Coleman to Kadri was a continuation of a trend to overpay 2nd/3rd liners that were bound to regress. No Neal contract and they have the cap space to sign Tkachuk longer.
