I think it's a pretty valid criticism to see 3 players who are making an impact for their respective teams especially when these players play a position that we currently lack depth in. If you're Treliving's boss, it certainly could be used against him. These aren't even the biggest fouls that could go against his performance. How about the potentially poor UFA signings and acquisitions in Brouwer, Bollig, Raymond, Elliott, Setoguchi and etc. Now, once again, I will reiterate that I believe Brad Treliving has a been a terrific GM and has made far more positive and level headed moves than bad ones and I hope he gets re-signed to a long term extension.
