So if we're going to fire the coach, then he should be right along side because it was Treliving that failed to address the biggest problem the team had this year - goaltending.

He was going to address the goaltending last year, and then Hamilton came available. They had the assets to get Dougie or Talbot, and they made the right decision.
Anaheim wasn't trading Andersen mid-season, Tampa wasn't trading Bishop/Vasilevsky, nobody was moving anybody good.
Maybe we could've gotten Reimer. For a conditional 4th and some minor leaguers swapping teams, I would have done that. The Flames didn't, I don't think they were especially eager for Reimer to cost them draft position. And if they like Reimer, they can get him on July 1 for free.
Ramo was brought back, and if he wasn't, Auston Matthews would be pulling on a red sweater instead of a blue one.
Brad Treliving has lost one trade since been our GM (Bollig). He seems to draft reasonably well - getting Kylington and Andersson in the 2nd round. Didn't flub the Bennett draft by gambling on Nick Ritchie. He knows what he's doing.
Relax.
