If Tre isnt at fault for his inability to get blue chip offers for Chucky then, because no one was offering them, then he failed in the sense that he created the situation where that could happen.
Sabres were able to get a good package for Eichel.
Jets/Columbus made a good deal when they were over a barrel with laine/PLD.

Tkachuk controlled his destination.
It's really easy to understand. It was explained by everyone. He went into the RFA period explored teams and had his agent call Treliving and tell him he was not signing a long term deal but would with this list of teams.
We also had a time crunch. How do you create a bidding war in a capped out league for a 10 million player? Which team will trade for him knowing he will only sign with certain teams?
It's not the same as Eichel at all not even close and even with Eichel not a lot of teams involved in a capped out league.
