A thought that has very frequently went through many GMs heads on July 1st is "well, if this doesn't work at least it won't be my problem in the end"
Guaranteed that thought went through Trelivings head while signing the Huberdeau deal.

Not the thread for it but I guarantee you the main thought going through his head was that he had to get a management "win" having lost two of their best players suddenly. He couldn't bear to lose in ownership's eyes, on a player he just acquired. 8 years? Who cares, I need a "win" or my career looks like I can't sign big fish.
