I don't believe that Treliving wouldn't have preferred a longer deal (at least 6 years) at an AAV which would have meant he had to move someone.
Treliving likely plugged his nose and got the deal done. I don't think he had any choice.

I think the Marner deal took long term away from all the RFAs. Pretty much every domino since has been a bridge.
I certainly wasn't suggesting Treliving was a genius, just stated that I'm glad he didn't end up painted into a corner and a contending team can keep its' depth.
Pretty much his job. Check mark.
