Overlaying the Treliving performance is the fact that our owners lack patience and I am sure there was a lot of pressure behind the scenes to "make the playoffs", especially on heels of Hartley's surprise year.
Treliving drafted (or at least oversaw drafting) well, though crucially missed completely on the highest pick (I do not know if anything could have been done about that). He sold well when he was selling and he started off trading really well - the Hamilton trade tree was very good, especially considering that we got the best of Ferland before he became unplayable. But, basically, everything after the Hamilton to CAR trade has been downhill. Wasting so many decent picks (especially considering how well we have drafted in those rounds) on garbage every deadline, wasting of more picks to pick up spares (Lazar, Smith, etc), culminating with the absolutely inexcusable Hamonic trade (do we have pro scouts and advanced stats analysts?). So many wasted assets for ZERO (kind of the mirror image of Feaster selling our stars). I don't even blame him for the trades that didn't close - **** happens.
The FA signings - more horror (do we have pro scouts and advanced stats analysts?), though Markstrom and Tanev look good THIS season.
The coaches... nothing to add there. The horror, the horror.
Finally, management of organizations and human resources - he has allowed employees way too much leeway and has failed to identify (how could you?), or, rather more likely, to excise the "bad apples"...

Verdict: TERMINATE.

While I don't agree with the verdict - this is a well balanced take.
