I think it's time Treliving starts taking some serious heat
Guy came in like gangbusters and has a lot of good things on his resume but some serious concerns as well. His trades have been great: Low acquisition cost of Hamilton and Elliott, upgrading Granlund to Shinkaruk, Sven for a 2nd rounder is alright, Chiasson for Seiloff looks good.
FA signings have been good: Brouwer, Frolik, Johnson, even Engelland has been decent this year and Hiller was good until he forgot how to goalie.
Re-signings have been phenomenal. Brodie, Gio, Gaudreau, Monahan all likely at or below market value.
But then there's the 3 headed goalie monster from last year and that's all on him. Just completely destroyed the confidence of our 1A/B situation. Colborne has 4 points in 5 games for the Avs, and this coaching hire has been an utter disaster. I know Hartley had bad advanced stats but I feel he really earned himself one more year with adequate goaltending. Interviewing more than one candidate should be a given, especially with Boudreau, Bylsma and others available. Gulutzan looks so over his head it's scary and I fear the optics of firing your handpicked choice this early will prevent Gulutzan from being deservedly fired.
