Treliving thought we needed to spend all the assets on the blueline and the forwards were fine. I asked him at the STH event before the draft how he valued fixing the 3 holes on the roster. Goaltending was a top priority but he mentioned he felt a top 4 D was by far the biggest need. Patrick Sharp was plan A, and Jagr was plan C or D maybe?

Clearly he did not judge the needs of the team properly. He likely also overestimated how well Bennett, Brouwer, Backlund, Frolik, Jankowski would do offensively.

I think for those reasons he needs to feel the heat and fix everything this summer or he could be on the chopping block this time next year
Yes, I stand corrected. Hamonic is 27.

I also agree Treliving, and hockey ops, likely expected more out of Bennett.
