Treliving took a risk after seeing Ferland, Poirier and Granlund making huge strides. Hudler and Gaudreau probably seen as the only wingers this team can keep if they want to continue to get big and skilled. Stepping back a bit, seeing how Colborne only went for a 4th and Baertschi's waiver status next year coupled with a still middling progression it's easier to accept. In the end, it's 'asset management' which a lot of us wanted.
Curious with Connolly whose return was brought up as a comparison, what his waiver status is like?
