He has done well in his selling trades for Glencross, Baertschi, Russell, Hudler, Bennett, Rittich.
Most of his other deals have been minor or players that we missed out on. He can’t keep living off the Hamilton deals that is for sure

Hamilton is long gone and we are now at the point where the bad outweighs the good over Treliving's tenure. For a guy that had a reputation of wheeling and dealing he's kept a rotten core intact and as the 960 guys were saying this morning the GM has a daunting task of trying to make offseason changes when almost all of his assets have been devalued. He's made such a mess of things that even the smartest GM would have a difficult time navigating the waters with an ownership group that was expecting a winner and not a rebuild.
