I imagine there's not a lot that Burke hasn't seen or heard over the years so I feel pretty confident that Treliving is the real deal here. Will be interesting to see how Burke describes the process in at the media announcement and ensuing interviews.
If I recall correctly Burke said that he doesn't expect to have a GM in place until after the draft back when the playoff race was still on. Coyotes could have made the playoffs which would have prevented the Treliving hire.
