In a situation in which a team chooses to pass over their pending RFAs then I definitely think those players who are retained are clearly part of the manager's long term plan. Treliving dismissed Ortio, Colborne, Jooris, Shore, Arnold, and others, and settled on signing only Monahan, Gaudreau, Wotherspoon, and Freddie Hamilton. These four players under these circumstances should be regarded as "Treliving's guys."
