The problem is NOT Treliving. It's the NHL; it's hockey. Certainly, he should have to answer questions for his part in employing Bill Peters, and I would hope that Treliving is part of the solution moving forward. But to foist upon him the responsibility for what is a deeply entrenched issue that extends far into the guts of the League is not fair.

Saying Treliving is part of the culture problem in the league doesn't feel like much of a defense of the guy or organization.
