There is a tonne of elements going into a playoff series that are simply beyond a manager's control. Things like momentum, fatigue, confidence all play a much bigger part of success and failure in the playoffs than they do the regular season. With how the team played all year I do not think it is the slightest bit unreasonable to expect them to do it again, and to take a step in the post season.

We also have no idea why those trades were nixed and the circumstances. You may be right.. but it is also possible Treliving knew very early on that Kadri was not going to waive but he decided to pursue it anyway (missing out on other deals) because he thought he could convince Kadri. We just dont know the details so I don't know if it was totally out of his control or he just made bad decisions.

Are you kidding me?! It has been WIDELY reported exactly what the parameters of the potential Kadri deal were and why it fell through. This is utter nonsense.
