I think Tre was decent - however he made some pretty big mistakes. I think his worst move as GM was the Hamonic trade. I hated all of his moves to get temporary bottom pairing defensemen - I really liked his Hamilton trade, and the following trade for Lindholm/Hanifin was pretty good work IMO. He left this team in a pretty bad spot, but it's hard to say if he was at fault for losing Gaudreau for nothing, and not signing Tkachuk to a longer term deal... I don't know how much he can be blamed for that -just not enough info. Getting Weegar and Huberdeau for Tkachuk seemed like a solid return for a player that wanted out, and my guess is the mandate was to stay competitive rather than rebuild when the writing was on the wall. I think he's an average GM, he's not afraid of taking big swings but I think he struggles when adding complementary pieces.
