And I don’t “want him gone” even though that’s how the poll is worded. I believe we can do better in the GM department, and while there is risk in change, this is a organization sadly in need of it. I believe your next GM is more likely to yield better results than the current one.
Is Treliving a better GM now than he was seven years ago and we would benefit from his experience? Maybe, almost undoubtedly really, but there is still little evidence of that. Some claim he learns from his mistakes yet this past off season still showed a reliance on older UFA’s and more inability to get value for his assets in trades. I don’t know the guy personally to be able to conclude if he is stubborn or flexible, forward thinking or focused on what’s in front of him. I know what the evidence points to.
