Like I argued for years on this site, he gave off the vibe and notion he was an active manager but his entire tenure in Calgary was met with below average and below league results.
Tre was "always on the phone" "in on every deal" fleecing GM's left and right at the deadline and draft table. It was always PTO's, the classic 7th D man additional late in the pre-season. He was big game hunting at the trade deadline, working the process and all the other nonsense we were fed during his time here in Calgary.
People believed this nonsense until it became beyond evident to virtually everybody what had happened with this team. Couldn't keep top UFA's, didn't have the cap room to do so, let top players walk, resigned other teams low level players to crippling contracts before they even laced up the skates.
Tre on the phone as always with Burke, the POHO who's sole job was to prevent a rookie manager from making rookie mistakes. LOL.
