When he took over, Treliving had:
What looked to be the next Kane/Toewes (a first line)
1st pairing top D
No Goalie.
Cap Space
If he leaves today, the new GM will have:
Maybe 1 first line player (Lindholm)
No top pairing D
Decent G
No cap space
Needless to say it's been an abject failure. I equate hockey to sales - you have your pipe/funnel build (prospects), then you work on closing (winning) which can hurt your pipeline build, but that's OK because you are closing business. Then once business is closed you have to focus on pipe build again.
Treliving went from pipe build to closing, but he didn't close anything. Now we have zero closed business (wins) and no pipeline. In my world he would be on a performance plan, and would likely resign as he would see there is no way he could turn it around before getting his ass fired.
