I will say this again: this characterization of candidates as "unconventional" v. "conventional" is being applied in this instance entirely by fans, and I would expect the GM to be making this decision much differently than any of us fans. Given that he is the GM, given the resources at his disposal, and given his access to varying expert opinions that none of us has, it seems pretty fair to rightly call Treliving "the smartest guy in the room" that is full of hockey fans, and not in a disparaging manner.
