I don't think management is above reproach, but I see nothing from this group that suggests they would ever be reluctant to make necessary changes if they could. It seems very unlikely to me that Treliving is just passing over readily available upgrades. I think more often than not fans have virtually no idea about how hard it is to make NHL trades—even seemingly easy ones like for a new NHL backup goalie.

Okay, but it’s always easy to be “proven” right by saying that making changes is the wrong choice. That’s the EASY choice. But how can you honestly say anyone who has been available FOR FREE would be definitively worse than Smith?
Minnesota’s starting goaltender was waived by multiple teams, the first of which is the one you yourself have been most vocally abusive of. NHL management does not always know better than fans.
