Treliving is well on the way to making us a perennial contender. Despite getting to the cup finals once under Sutter I never felt we were legit perennial contenders under him.

Go to the cup finals and then trade Lydman for a 3rd? We struggled to replace him and got barely anything for him. He was a solid NHLer for years. Sutter made a lot of questionable moves. Phaneuf for nothing? Trading away Prust twice? Ugh

IMO Treliving's worst moves came in his first couple months (Raymond) and since then I haven't found any of his moves to be questionable. He had clear wins in the Glencross trade, Hamilton trade and Russell trade.

Brad Treliving is by far the best GM the team has him in my time of watching the team. Darryl Sutter was the best coach we've had but was a very mediocre to poor GM. Sutter was only successful as a GM when he had the dual role.
