I question why you think this. We're one of the worst possession teams in the league, and it's by design thanks to how Hartley coached. I loved Bob the man, but as a coach we've all seen his weaknesses in actual on-ice strategy.
I think this is a GM being proactive rather than reactive. I predicted Bob would be back in 2016/2017, but be let go halfway through the year. This move is bold, and forward thinking. Treliving now gets to hire his first head coach - something he has yet to do as a GM.
Go big Brad.
