As I said earlier ... Treliving has gone to a high skill with a clear issue (size) in recent drafts. I don't see the take the big Western kid plan at all that we saw under Sutter.

The drafting has been fine and I'm a big fan of Tod Button and have confidence in his abilities. It's Treliving's signings and acquisitions that have been problematic to me. His acquisitions of high character/leadership players have not worked out. Burke made a lot of acquisitions for truculence purposes that made no sense and Sutter's entire era was littered with moves for players who were good Western boys or players who generally were high character people.
