I think this coming summer will be an important one for Treliving.

Lots of core pieces are already in place and we're on track to draft in the top 5.

The biggest challenge he faces in the summer to come?

1. Work with Hartley to correct the systematic faults.
Hartley needs to re-work the 200 foot game he has the troops run. Focus needs to be on puck possession, not low percentage stretch passes. Defensive zone structure needs a complete overhaul.

2. Find a #1 goalie.
Ben Bishop via trade?

3. Gaudreau and Monahan extensions - is there any magic to work?
Risk/Reward with Bridge Vs. No-Bridge. Plenty examples on both sides - Subban shouldn't have been given a bridge-contract, Nugent-Hopkins should have been given a bridge-contract.
