Most rookie GMs make mistakes.
I can't grasp a strategy to fire the current GM, and hand the keys to a rookie GM that was part of his leadership team.
I am making an assumption they have been grooming him to take the job eventually. He has been around from Feaster-Burke-Treliving and has a relationship with ownership. Promoting from within is commonplace. I could be wrong but it makes sense to me. Treliving has a contract are they going to go spend big on someone else? I am not saying that is what I want but I think it is a logical and realistic scenario that will play out if they did fire Tree
