*EDIT* To continue with your point, it looks to me as though management is laying the groundwork for a transition plan for when Giordano's age becomes a factor. The team is not "tied" to any individual player. I expect that Treliving believes they can continue to be highly competitive beyond the next five years.
Yeah I can see this, especially in Treliving's comments. He talks about the group of centres saying they believe in the group.

Maybe instead of individual foundational players they are going for strength in the aggregate?

I'm more old school I guess in that I prefer building around those foundational players.
