You don't have to look to hard at other Canadian cities right now not to see what happens when you get many big ones wrong in a row without exit strategies.

It is about results now. The team is at the cap again with relatively few prospects so there is no cavalry riding to the rescue. If the coach and or acquired players don’t work out, it will no doubt be on Treliving and I doubt he’ll be given the chance to work his way out of it.
But if this team delivers, he should squarely get the credit. His fingerprints are all over this club.
