I think Treliving is a below average GM. Especially since the Lindholm trade.
Sutter was probably better until later on. Feaster is generally underrated (I think people put too much weight on the Ryan O'Reilly thing). Al Coates was simply better.

So how was Treliving until his last big move, which was only a season ago.
Feaster - you are ignoring his Iginla, Jaybo and Regher trades, I bet. Also the acquisition of O'Brien and Jones for Tanguay and Sarich. He also used first round picks on Jankowski, Poirier, Klimchuk, and Sven and 2nd rounders on Seiloff and Wotherspoon. Really, the only good move I can think of is drafting Gaudreau (Monahan was a by the book no-brainer).
Coates - just look at his draft record. He drafted one guy who made an impact for the Flames (Morris), maybe two if you count Lydman. I give him credit for Iginla, but that's about it.
