Either way, this is essentially corroborates your argument that it's a culture problem in hockey but doesn't mean Treliving or anyone else should escape culpability going forward.
If this is the beginning of the end of his tenure, so be it.

I don't know how the hiring process works in the NHL, it probably varies from team to team, but one cannot help but question if Tre turned a blind eye. It boggles my mind that you do not check up on some references on a guy you are going to pay 2 million dollars a year. A responsible and prudent boss should always always check up on these things.
