Whether we like it or not, Treliving apparently doesn't believe in/hasn't been able to execute when it comes to improving/altering the team once the season gets going.
We'll see what happens, but this season - whichever way it goes - is likely going to play itself out with mostly the same roster it has today.

The fact that this is a 56 game season and you make a deal and the new player misses 7-8 games to quarantine (unless you trade with a direct competitor) it is going to be very tough for Canadian teams to make in season trades.
As you said all Treliving’s moves have been deadline selling or buying (outside of a scrub deal like Granlund for Shinkaruk or Knight for Shore). Glencross, Hudler, Baertschi, Russell traded for futures and futures used to add Stone, Lazar, Fattenberg, Gustafson, Forbort.
It is so tough to make major in season deals with the cap as it pretty much needs to be money in/money out.
