I think a good way to judge a GM's body of work is to evaluate what he has done against what he should or could have done.
So far, I don't think that Treliving has missed too many opportunities. He has not done a lot with the roster, but it is pretty hard to argue that he could have made it much better without some huge sacrifices, and there is the key. In actual fact, Treliving has bolstered my confidence in his work because he has been doggedly consistent in his approach this season, and his commitment to work towards getting better down the road.

Always hear about how the good GMs are the ones who don't make a trade to save their job or Treliving stressing not getting too high with the highs this season. He's really stuck to his word and looking at the big picture years down the road. Careful buyer is really a good way of describing him thus far. Since it hasn't even been a year since he took the job, I think we'll need to still be more patient with another draft, offseason and trade deadline to get a better idea of how he's going to go about improving the team.
