Treliving hitched his wagon to some bad coaches, and did it again with Ward. Even if the rest of his body of work has good aspects to it, that's pretty much unforgivable. All the good work he did with contracts is out the window because he couldn't hire the right person to steer the one ice product since turfing Hartley. Its been long enough, he's had his chance, and wasted his rebuild's contention window. I don't really see how the organization lets this stand.
