He definitely got thrown a curve ball when Edwards hired his coach using the Murray budget!
I think he's either 2nd or 3rd on the list of top GM's for the team. Not a high bar....but there was more good than bad. Had he been able to do what he wanted...things might have been different. I think after Burke left, he had more owner meddling than Sutter ever did.
For all we know Tre wanted to tear it down if that year went badly...but got undermined on that.
