I wouldn't equate re-signings to "building", but maybe that's just me. I don't think of the Blackhawks as the team Stan Bowman built, because the guy who drafted most of their stars and really crafted that team into a powerhouse was Dale Tallon.

I don't think of Gaudreau, for instance, as a Treliving move. He was drafted by Feaster, who relied on his scouting staff to find him. Treliving had no responsibilty in regards to acquiring him. Same goes with Giordano. That was a Sutter-regime signing. Just because Treliving re-signed him doesn't mean that he was "building the team", because Giordano was a Flame long before Treliving arrived.

Just my thoughts.
