I remember Hartley loved him and said he was like a caged cat, you couldn’t hold him back. This is something you want in not only hockey but other professions. I’d rather have to reel someone in than push them out
Then Tre put his stamp on the team and some really bad coaches couldn’t figure out what to do

Hartley said that before he'd played one regular season game.
I think it's crazy to place all the blame on one side for a player not busting into the roster. The same staff saw a guy a year older in Monahan and he forced his way into the top line. Andersson forced his way up the lineup. Tkachuk as well.
