Listening to Treliving last night, he still believes in the core of the team he built - and I think he should. When listing off his young core, he specifically named Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Hamilton and then at the end of that train of thought he also included Brodie and Bennett.
I walked away from last night wondering what roster changes he was alluding to (as far as subtractions are concerned), and the only two players I can really think of are Frolik and Brouwer, and I have a hard time believing Frolik is going to get moved.
I think we're going to see Treliving go big game hunting on July 1st for the first time in his career. If he can add two legit scoring threats up front, and we have the cap-space to do just that, then we're going to bounce from "asset depleted" right into being a deep team at all positions, which Treliving mentioned was one of his goals when he took over.
