Even early Tre wasn't very good. I know he was always known around here as the "Wizzard" and we always heard about how he was in on every trade, always on the phone, bidding up prices for the Oilers, skinning everybody at the draft table etc.
He was just ok but made a ton of mistakes. He was a very very active GM that got below average results, he looked like he was always trying to put a team to win together.
After it became obvious this team was a disaster beyond repair did a lot of fans start to turn.
Worst part about the above is that we had Burke during critical years allowing these mistakes to occur!
Who would have known that the Jay Feaster era had a lot of the best talent and most success, getting into the 2nd round and playing well vs the Ducks in 2015!
