That shouldnt, and likely isn't going to be happening. And for areally good reason.
The amount of trust people are putting into a coaching change to make players better is astounding to me. These are still the same group of players that couldn't/wouldnt do what was asked of them the last 2 years, so why would that be any different now?
Changes on this club NEED to occur for the betterment of everyone involved IMO.
BT will be swinging for the fences this week is my guess and if he doesn't get what he wants that way, then be prepared for a massive UFA offer going out to someone a week today....an option most agree is not the best way to go about things.
No way Treliving returns the same team (more or less) next season and he has said as much.

Agreed. Treliving will be upgrading the forwards in some way.
That said I think some people are underrating just how poorly GG constructed the lineup last season. He basically created 1 scoring line, 1 elite two-way checking line and two 4th lines. By merely juggling the lineup around slightly its easy to create 2 scoring lines, 1 elite two-way checking line and a 4th line even without adding another top 6 forward. See the lines in my post above.
That said I do agree that he will look to add another depth scorer. I think adding the top 6 depth player will be huge. But also juggling the lines and utilizing the current players better will also be huge.
