This is still a team who massively underachieved this season and as much criticism as Treliving deserves I don't think he's dumb enough to just think he doesn't need to change anything because they ended up barely making the playoffs.
And although he's not the GM I think Treliving respects Sutter enough to get input from him and Darryl isn't going to tell him everything is fine.
And if there is a GM change he's going to want to make changes.

I don’t think this team is horrible and I bet most that want us to tank don’t think that way either. Some are just wanting to see better and don’t see a team with low ranked prospect pool core players with contract issues and our leading dman being 37 getting better without taking at least a step back and retooling for a year or 2
For years I was personally optimistic about this team having guys like mangiapane dube Bennett and valimaki being added to our core and this team taking a big step forward. Bennett is gone dube and mangiapane are already producing. I’m looking at valimaki still having tons of room to grow but I’m not seeing much else that is top 6 potential right away making this team. Ruzicka and Phillips are the only guys we have. Can’t see them making a big impact and still need to see guys out to make room for them.
Adding a top 6 pick this draft and fixing the cap this summer changes the outlook of this team moving forward
