Baring a catastrophic meltdown, Treliving isn't likely to go anywhere for at least the next year to year and a half. I do think though that the seat is getting warm, I will acknowledge that. I think his success/demise is now tied to what happens this offseason and the on-ice results that follow. He has some chips he can use to adjust the roster. In relatively short order he will have to play those and see where they fall.

Yeah this is where I am and at least you're acknowledging that the temperature is going up.
He has done a lot of good things, and some just haven't worked out, not really his fault. Then there are some that are directly on him. Unfortunately the big picture pattern is that the team doesn't seem any better, or threatening or ready to be at the next level after 7 years of his tenure.
Not being easy to be a GM, or being a good man, or spending other people's money, or "easy for you to say" are weak reasons not to want a change if one is needed. A prevalent sentiment around many topics here. And I hasten to add, if they are needed.
