Yeah he's never signed long term deals - that wasn't changing this time around.

And TBH outside of last deadline he hasn't made too many major moves but the mistakes Treliving has made in Toronto, are the same mistakes he made here, he continually spends too many assets on non-premium pieces.

Laughton for Grebenkin + 1st
Carlo for Minten, 1st
Edmunson for 3rd + 5th
Lybushkin for 3rd +_6th

2 1sts
2 3rds
Minten
Grebenkin
5th
6th

And all he has to show for that right now are Laughton and Carlo.

If he were to package that all up last year and offer a team 2 1sts, Minten, and Grebenkin he could have probably acquired a star level player.

But he continually struggles to close the big deals, but then spends all those assets on players that don't provide any real positive impact.

Combine that with letting Marner walk, and Matthews injuries really making him a player not nearly as effective as he once was, and now you have a team that is lacking depth offensively, still isn't strong defensively, and has no assets or cap space to try to fix the problem.
