Yeah you don't spend to the cap and buy out players if you are ok with mediocrity.
Wining is hard. Very very hard.
Treliving has a cost controlled core that isn't getting it done. He now has to decide what % of that is a missing piece (maybe goaltending), what % is coaching in the last two years, and what % is the need to change the core, alter the chemistry, or shift strengths on the roster from one area to another.
Choosing a route that is different than joe hockey fan doesn't mean the management group or ownership are happy with mediocrity. It just means they have a differing view that you.
