For me it really depends on who Treliving's replacement might be, there certainly could be better GMs on the market come summer. David Poile is a guy I would consider an upgrade over Treliving, I may even consider a Tallon type.

I think the ownership is looking at how things have progressed since 2014 and they basically see a downward projection where it matters. Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Brodie, etc. are all struggling under this coaching/management group. Something's gotta give here. And considering both Treliving's and Gulutzan's contracts are up this summer, they better show some progress between then and now if they have any hope of keeping their jobs.

While I don't think Treliving has been a bad GM, he has yet to build a roster that is noticeably improved from the one he started with in 2014. He also appears to be oblivious to what his young group needs in terms of coaching.
