He ruined Brodie in his first year here and had half this board ready to be done with Hanifin after 2 years with him. Hanifin looks like a completely different player with Tanev/Andersson and Brodie looked back to his former self when he was out back with Gio.

Hamonic was an absolute disaster that likely will be looked back as Treliving’s worst move unless they can be up giving up an even better pick to the Habs for the Monahan trade.
I am thinking even if they would of protected the pick it more then likely would only be top ten protected so wouldn’t of made a difference anyways.
