This is a black mark on Treliving's tenure as far as I am concerned.

I honestly think they needed to find a person to take the exact salary that he agreed to in order to maximize the benefit of LTIR.
With his contact below that threshold (750k?) they can now send him to the farm without any cap impact.
If that's a dark mark then I think we need to cut a wider swath as it doesn't really impact the team.
Who's call to actually play him is the next thing. Did Treliving force that on Gulutzan or did Gulutzan want some more beef on the backend? He's here so why not try him?
I know he's a good man, and great in the room, so there's that too.
Hopefully this was always a discussed possibility and he's fully aware of the fact that this could happen.
