The current management group inherited a team with no (at the time) bad contracts, lots of cap space, a few up and coming star players, all their draft picks and lots of prospects. Today we are at the cap, have traded several high picks and have recently bought out several contracts. I think Treliving has done a good job overall but the team is entirely his at this point and we can stop blaming the previous management.
