Burke doesn't know him, so that panic cycle can be skipped this time around. And even if he did we've seen enough hints lately that Treliving is going his way and not Burke's now.
So then what are we left with?
1. The process failed and they hired a dud
2. Treliving himself is a dud as he got the right guy with the wrong system.
3. It's one game

All valid points, but lets not pretend that Gulutzan hasn't been coaching in the NHL for several years now and doesn't exactly have a great body of work to fall back on. I'm hoping Treliving knows something I don't, but the Grossman signing makes you wonder if they're seeing the same games as everyone else. If the decisions were logical, then it would be hard to argue despite the results.
