I recall a poll or interview or something about GMs in the Hockey News, and Treliving rated very highly as a GM that agents liked to deal with. Just because he's a tough negotiator doesn't mean he isn't liked or respected. If you treat people well and above-the-board, without being a dick, then I don't think fighting your corner in negotiations earns you a bad rep.
