IMO this is an overly dramatic take. I don't think there's anything dramatic about fans discussing the top line fading over the last two months and that Monahan for example seems to never be at his best at the end of seasons. I don't think it's overly dramatic to point to the fact that some of the core players in Monahan and Tkachuk aren't very good skaters and looked slow in the playoffs against a faster Avalanche team. Treliving has shown that if he sees an area that he feels needs improvement he strikes while the iron is hot. Does anyone here really think that he's sitting in his office thinking that things are great and another year is just what the team needs? I don't think he operates that way he's probably already getting a head start on looking at how to improve the team and that could involve some popular players being shipped out. The playoffs may have sucked but the offseason should be fun.
