What gives you the impression that he was pressed to move up the timeline, rather than it being his call? Unless there's some form of media, there's no way to know one way or the other. So for me I would assume it was Treliving that felt like making moves for Hamonic at expense of early round picks were completely from his point of view that the team's window was then rather than upstairs encouragement.
