But if your argument is that Treliving was unwilling to pay any price for this player, then I will agree with you, and am thankful that he was a hell of a lot more sensible about it than you seem to be.

Maybe taking a risk would've been the right move, maybe not, either way now the team is still in square one after seven years. None of his moves ultimately moved the needle at all and I can't see the results being any different in the future either if he's in charge.
