Treliving is a really good GM. I like most of his philosophy about how you build a team, I like most of the things he's done to this roster, and I think he's the long-term answer at GM.
That said, he needs to hire someone (it can be me, I don't cost much) on July 1 to sit in his office with him and say 'Don't do that'.
"I really think Mason Raymond can -"
"Don't do that."
"What this team needs most is the veteran leadership and Cup experience of Troy Brouw-"
"Don't do that, you already have Frolik and he's better"
"James Neal-"
"No, you already have Lindholm, you added Czarnik for a fifth of what Neal wants, and if you just put Bennett with Tkachuk and Backlund, that basically cements your 2nd line. Tkachuk needs a deal next year, and we still don't have a goalie."
"You're right. I'm glad you're here"
"No problem, buddy"
