The point is that if this is the direction of the team moving forward, then Treliving is not a bad choice to be leading it. If the question is whether "he’s the guy to negotiate replacements," then his track record makes a compelling case.

He has made efforts to change the team, like just missing out on adding 5.5 million dollar a year Jason Zucker for the 2019 First Round pick at the 2019 trade deadline. Both he and the Wild were upset about that one falling through. Zucker is set to make 5.5 million through 2023 and he consistently seems to give his teams 40 points a season.
