That's definitely how I see it playing out also. Though i'm a lot less of a Treliving fan than yourself (which is fine of course).

I definitely don't agree with treliving being a better trader than sutter. We know sutter traded a lot of first and second round picks during his tenure here, but it brought in star players that became core players during their tenure here: kipper, tanguay, huselius, langkow, cammalleri, jokinen,bourque, Simon, bouwmeester, stuart, etc.

Treliving has used up 8 x first/second round picks that equated to hamilton (throw in adam fox and ferland btw), hamonic and lazar. By this summer those 8 picks will translate to lindholm/hanafin on the roster.

Treliving sucks at the trade game, slightly less than his UFA signing talents....
