I'm a little indifferent to Treliving nowadays. The one thing that has really turned me off appears to be his indifference towards the voice of the players in the past few seasons. There always seems to be a guy pissed off at the coaches or the organization and on a sports team that shouldn't get out. I suspect the reason it gets out is out of desperation as they want to be heard out. I know it's controversial, but there has to be a voice of reason in upper management to listen to all parties as impartial as possible.
Onto his body of work relating to signings and trades, overall, I think he's a good GM. The Hamonic deal wasn't good at the time, but overall I do think when he wants to make the big move he isn't afraid, and for that where you want a big off-season, he's the guy I want in charge. I would be shocked if there aren't at least a couple big moves.
Additionally, I don't think ownership wants to pay yet another guy to sit on the sidelines and get a paycheque, so I'm certain he's not on the chopping block this season.
