Interesting synopsis and after reading that, I'd be surprised if he isn't back. Still, Friedman is hearing something
Treliving gets a lot of praise for his trades. The Hamilton trade was solid for sure. But IMO most of his trades have been auctions for draft picks, and I grade those differently as I just believe the degree of difficulty is much lower. Moving out a bad contract, or trading players that may be part of your core for something you need are where good GM's really earn their money. That and quality re-signings and shrewd UFA moves.
