Treliving has been the GM since April 2014. The first draft is reported to not be his. From 2015 and on is.
In 2015, he didn't have a first rounder and 5 picks in total. He landed Rasmus Andersson, Oliver Kylington, and Andrew Mangiapane.
In 2016, he had nine picks and landed Tkachuk, Dube, and Fox with Phillips trending in the right direction. There is still hope for Parsons .
In 2017, which it is pretty early to evaluate, he has landed Valimacki.
Great GMs are made on the draft - not on acquiring players on expiring contracts, at the trade deadline or before. There are far more mistakes made in those situations than winning situations.
