Default The team Treliving built

Looking at the roster with the exception of 2 players this is Treliving's team.

Forwards:
Monahan - drafted by Feaster, signed by Treliving
Gaudreau - drafted by Feaster, signed by Treliving (inevitably)
Brouwer - signed by Treliving
Bennett - drafted by Treliving
Tkachuk- drafted by Treliving
Ferland- drafted by Sutter, signed by Treliving
Shinkaruk- traded for by Treliving
Backlund - drafted by Sutter signed by Treliving
Frolik - signed by Treliving
Bouma - drafted by Sutter, signed by Treliving
Chiasson- traded for by Treliving
Bollig - traded for by Treliving

Defense
Giordano- signed by Sutter, re-signed by Treliving
Brodie- drafted by Sutter, signed by Treliving
Hamilton- traded for and signed by Treliving
Jokkipakka- traded for by Treliving
Wotherspoon - drafted by Feaster signed by Treliving
Engellend - signed by Treliving

Goalies
Elliott- traded for by Treliving
Johnson - signed by Treliving

That leaves Wideman (signed by Feaster), Smid (traded for by Feaster) and Stajan (traded for by Sutter, signed by Burke) as the only roster players that Treliving hasn't either brought into the organization, or a player that he negotiated their current contract. There are other possibilities as the season opens in Porier, Kulak, Klimchuck, Culkin make the team (drafted by Feaster, signed by Burke or Feaster). Even other top prospects Gillies and Jankowski that were drafted by Feaster were signed by Treliving. Lastly with the Gulutzan hire he has brought in his own head coach.

Safe to say this is the team he built and it is going to be an exciting season. I didn't realize until I drilled down a bit just how many players he hass had a hand in acquiring or retaining. I am a fan of Treliving so far it seems he is a very smart and hard working guy. I have enjoyed his traded to date as it feels really good to win trades for once after a long period under Sutter (2010 edition) and Feaster (minus the Erixon and Cammalleri deals) losing trades badly. To date I have given Treliving a pass on the teams performance. Now that this is undeniably his team the praise or hate that comes with the teams performance over the next few years will rest on his shoulders.

Is it time to drop the puck yet?
