I'll admit that I was a Tre fan for most of his tenure here. Even the Huberdeau/Tkachuk swap I thought was a win at the time. I even liked the Neal and Brouwer signings at the time, they obviously didn't age well. I never liked the draft picks for depth Dmen but I thought he made some good trades that were counterpoint to that, and expecting a GM to hit 100% of the time is never realistic. I thought he was dealt a bad card with Gaudreau, but I hated the 1st rounder to get rid of Mony.

His job in Toronto though just seems to have taken all the bad and rolled it into his entire scope of work there.

EDIT: I should add his coaching choices ruined a good core and probably directly led to not developing Bennett properly.
