The team needs to improve and they need some additions on the edges—most notably, a goalie and a #4 defensemen. There is not really "a lot of work to be done" beyond what the players presently here can do to naturally progress.

Treliving agrees with you. Not a lot of work to do.
I just hope next year we don't end up missing the playoffs or a similar result in the playoffs. I'm normally very positive and patient, but based on the series I was looking for Treliving to own some of the decision making which resulted in our quick elimination. Even Elliott was able to identify his part in it.
I have a lot of respect for Treliving and his decisions, but in the past he has always clearly identified and owned issues. Didn't get that today.
