Consistently firing management puts the organization in a constant state of chaos with no path forward.

I'm not for firing Treliving either.
Most of us could see a pretty good team emerging, and are as surprised as he likely is that things came apart in the playoffs to the degree it did, and the fact that it still lingered.
His roster construction was fine. He built out a solid blueline, drafted well, and had four forwards in the elite category.
It's not working because some of the key players seem to be weak mentally, which then puts it to him or not depending on how much you want to blame a GM for gambling on players that can't play up to their abilities.
