I have zero problem if they trade him and his contract away this season if it makes sense, but if he sticks around for the rest of this year I don't think it's a big deal, he'll be replaced next season. The wingers he plays with are the bigger question marks for this season, as you've already mentioned.

Ryan sure was not a fourth liner when that contract was signed. Up until 2020 he was a highly effective third liner who could also play spot-duty in the too six. Even then he was on pace for a +30-point season.
I think Treliving has gotten solid value out of that signing.
