That's some crazy draft capital that translates to Lindholm, Hanafin, hamonic on this year's roster (that's frigin fugly).
By this summer that's 8 x 1st/2nd rounders spent (plus ferland, Adam fox), for a contribution of Lindholm and Hanafin.
Now, we approach a summer where it's universally agreed by fans, media, analysts that the core isn't good enough and needs to change, yet thd gm used up all this draft capital over the past 5 years on that?!?!
Treliving should have to essentially re-interview for retaining his job, and plan before he's given the authority to do anything this summer.
How CP gave this genius a higher gm rating than Darryl sutter is beyond me. Sutter blew a lot of draft capital, but those trades brought in big time players like kipper, tanguay, langkow, Simon, bouwmeester, cammalleri, jokinen.
I think we all wanted this somewhat unknown prodigy to be our guy, but there's too many warts in his process and results to not consider whether he should be the guy making the call for such a pivotal point for the franchise.
