Problem is, I think that vision has failed and now he’ll be pivoting and going the opposite direction. Less skill and more will. If Treliving does stays on, my guess is he’ll probably look to trade the skilled players and add hard hat, lunch pail types who will play simple, basic, north-south no nonsense hockey, less east-west types. This team will probably focus on giving up less goals and winning 2-1 instead of 3-1.

What makes you think that these are the types of players Treliving is targeting moving forward?
