Jones?
Smid?
Colbourne?
Galiardi?
O'Brien?
Ramo?
The huge hauls he got for Iginla, Bouwmeester, Regehr are sure paying off huge right now.

You are getting too literal here.
Treliving inherited Backlund, Gaudreau, Monahan, Giordano, Brodie, 2014 #4OA, Kulak, Jankowski, Ferland, Baertschi, Granlund, Hudler, Gillies, Poirier, Klimchuk. Tod Button does deserve more credit for drafting these guys but that doesn't change the fact that Treliving was not starting with a team devoid of talent, particularily young up-and-comers. He also inherited a lot of cap space from Feaster which is not something a next GM would be inheriting from Treliving right now.
