I get it, you have a soft spot for Brad as he's by most accounts a pretty good guy. That's fine but you are kind of on an island if you think he was a good GM. He made a very small handful of really good moves surrounded by a lot of wasted draft picks for depth, some flat out terrible UFA signings, while mismanaging long term contracts for his best players.
To be fair Marner has a NMC and Treliving did actually consider moving him for Rantanen at the deadline so you can't fault the GM when the player doesn't waive.

So nice of you to summarize my position for me! And with a weak argument of being a good dude!
Risebrough destroyed a cup calibre team, and Button was here for 15 minutes.
It was a silly reach, and you know it.
