Not sure how much leeway that buys him.
Let me ask you this..
If they miss the playoffs or are even knocked out in round 1 again..do you think he will be retained? (Unless a series of injuries to key guys etc can be pointed to)
I am a fan of his work overall to be honest, but this deal smacks of desperation to me and when thats starts to happen, you can usually see the end coming sonner rather than later.

How is it possibly the GMs fault if the team performs poorly in the playoffs?
His job is to put together a good team on paper. Performance is on the players and coaching staff.
Then, based on results, the GM should tweak the team based on what seemed to be missing.
Every year Treliving has attempted to do just that. While Lucic is a bum, on paper he's getting rid of a bad "goal scorer" contract and trading it for a bad "power forward" type contract - of which we seemed to be missing this year.
