I thought Fletcher was strong.
Risebrough over his head
Coates a custodian in a difficult time
Button over his head at a tough time as well
Sutter great at first and then chaos
Feaster was an era that made me nervous
Treliving to me, makes me more comfortable than I've been since the early 90s.

Quite frankly, I dont hate Treliving but feel that people on here overrate him substantially. I think if Treliving was the GM of the Oilers, right now we would have a bunch of posts in the "no good tread" talking about his atrocious signings.
He came in and started off well. However, i personally think that he is grasping at straws right now to try and get out of this cap situation (waited too long to make the necessary moves). This is usually when most GMs make some really dumb moves when their back is up against the wall and I would be more comfortable bringing in someone else than a Sutter situation all over again when he left with some horrendous deals.
Every GM has a shelf life imo. It is important to realize that before it is too late. I am just suggesting that people give him way too much crediit when really this cap situation is because of his own decisions (some really bad ones)
