2) Traded a 1st Round Pick for a 2nd pair defenceman
3) Traded a 1st Round Pick for a 3rd/4th line Centre/Winger.
How to go from a "have" team to a "have not" team in the course of one year.
It's impressive work.

How can you re-sign a player before he enters the last year of his contract? Marners NMC kicked in on the same day he could potentially sign an extension. I'm sure they could've done some negotiating before hand, but that doesn't really guarantee a signing.
I agree with the rest. It was some really baffling asset management by Tre. He always seemed to overvalue below market contracts with term. He blew all his assets on 1 run and a 2nd round exit. To be fair, they were FLAs toughest opponent last year.
