I think trades in the NHL are probably a lot harder than we think to make, especially hockey trades.
There is what 2 maybe 3 big hockey trades a season in the NHL?

I hear this a lot, yet there are other teams able to make deals. Why are we unable to?
I believe the answer is that the book is out on our core. Soft as butter and low compete level. As such, other gms aren’t willing to surrender the right kind of assets to obtain them, resulting in low ball offers. So Treliving has to keep doubling down on them hoping that something clicks. I hope I’m wrong, but for the life of me I can’t comprehend why he brought the same group back with their track record.
It seems like we are buying time until players like Pelletier and Zary and other draftees with high gaf meters are ready. What we have now isn’t the answer, no matter who is coaching the team.
