Treliving has made the playoffs in 4 of 6 years at the helm, and lead the team to a division win all after taking over a team in year one of a rebuild where they got nothing of value in return for their former franchise players and top Dman.
Win the division for the first time in 13 years, make the playoffs 2 seasons in a row in over a decade. Time to fire that guy

This is an incredible re-frame of this rebuild. These results are world beating for a team with a pathetic history of success. Win the division (once) and make the playoffs (only to have the exact same result we've seen for most of 30 years if you're old enough). Wow. How do we contain our excitement? Long may this reign of major successes continue.
