Many shorter tenured GM's have had more success. Meanwhile, some other historically long tenured GM's, like Darcy Regier and Larry Pleau have not gone as well.
If you think Treliving is a good GM, or can grow into the job, that would be a good reason to keep him. Not because David Poile.

Larry Pleau was AGM and director of player personnel with the rangers in 94 when they won the cup.
He was the st.louis GM when they won the presidents trophy.
The Blues problems are a direct extension of having been sold 3 times in 12 years.
Without the bull#### brett Hull crease goal, Darcy Regier is likely a stanley cup winning general manager. In his tenure with Buffalo he guided that team to back to back conference finals appearances and a presidents trophy.
Again, that team's problems are directly traceable to ownership. While Regier was GM of the Sabres they were sold 3 times and filed for bankruptcy protection once.
