The two biggest mistakes he made for me were not mistakes in assessing what was needed, but more on picking the wrong player to acquire for that need (and even there, there were arguments in favour of the player and hindsight is working hard for some people).

Sure, but that is a very low bar wouldn't you agree? I believe, Treliving is a smart guy and he doesn't do things without some reason. But you could look at every single pro sports transaction and in the vast majority of cases. argue the reason for why it was done by both sides.
The successful teams do it better.
For example I understand why he traded a 3rd for Bollig. IMO it doesn't make it a smart deal. I also understand why Boston moved on from Dougie Hamilton, which doesn't mean it wasn't a great deal for the Flames.
