Winning a trade is pointless if it doesn't help the team. It's not about winning trades, it's about making the team better.
Treliving failed to improve the top line. Be it a new C, a RW or whatever. Whiffed on many potential deals
He failed to deliver on his own vision of a big team that's hard to play against.
For the first 5 years he failed to bring in a #1 goalie.
The team looked outmatched in eery playoff series since the vancouver series. The team was pretty much embarrassed in all those series and were only able to win 4 games in total. 2 of them last year. One against a cold Dallas team, the other one where Talbot stole it.
I dont remember how good they were in the 2015 Ducks playoffs when they won one game vs the Ducks. But I do remember the only other win they had, game 1 vs Colorado. A nice shut out where they were outplayed in most of the game.
So there. The team's playoff performance have shown a new level of ineptitude over the last 6 years. And Treliving did nothing to fix it.
