Bet on Gaudreau and was wrong.
Since he left I think the biggest strike against him was the reveal that he didn't collaborate with his management team much.
I don't think we have to name a street after him in Calgary but the wizard drive by nonsense we see on this site if way over the top.

I don't disagree with anything here except I kind of get a chuckle at the wizard drive by nonsense a little bit. Some fans were able to build a full time hobby around praising or defending most everything Treliving did, to the point where Wizard was in fact how he was viewed by some.
A short sarcastic reference to this doesn't bother me too much.
I always thought he stepped into a pretty good situation. A team with no cap issues, some decent young players, some tradeable assets and manageable expectations. And he didn't really do much with it.
But this is beating a dead horse territory.
