Right, but how much of a regular occurrence is this? Is this something that has happened with frequency?

IMO the standard for the GM should be more than not "actively impeding the team's direction".

Agreed. I think planning and vision are crucial criteria, but these are almost impossible to judge from the outside looking in. My point was a lot more nuanced than merely stated: the GM should get more than just five years to see his vision through.

I find it hard to evaluate a GM because we don't really hear their true vision or strategic direction and we really have no idea what their go forward plan is. From the outside in, appears Treliving has gone all in on this team's core to this point. Thus far, it worked for a 60 game stretch in the last regular season.

Given the lack of clarity from the outside it is impossible to say whether Treliving has gone "all in" on this core. It looked like he was "all in" on a core that included at one time Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Ferland, and he pretty quickly moved to upgrade those pieces.
