The team he constructed is none of the above. Arguably the slowest, softest, easiest team to play against, especially in the playoffs.

Exactly. GioforPM did a great breakdown on all the individual deals, but that misses the point that Treliving had a vision of a certain type of a team, but never delivered it. He was always busy making deals, some of them good, but those deals were not necessary.
Like New Era mentioned yesterday, the team badly needed a big RW for Monahan and Johhny, but Treliving made a move for Hamonic instead. This wasn't just a bad trade, it was a trade that was unnecessary.
I brought up Czarnik, Foo and Ryan as other examples of unnecessary moves. Even if they were not huge deals. So even if he won the UFA competition to bring them in, he didnt improve the team. And that should be his priority instead of winning trades or UFA wars.
