Right now it's "please score every game top line" or "Markstrom needs to be perfect." Absolutely unsustainable way to win.
Personally, I think Treliving is very brave when it comes to trades and he's always looking to "improve" the team. But I feel like he's come out swinging in a lot of trades attempts and has missed. Probably a good thing he whiffed on the Jason Zucker deal though because that would not have aged well.

I didn't word that well. I meant we need a GM not afraid to trade pieces such as Johnny or Monahan, Matt, a defensman, or prospect. We need to trade a
good piece or 2 to get Jack. Once we have him finding some scoring wingers will be an easier route. We don't have to mortgage the house but we need an elite center in worst way if we are to have a chance to compete in the near future.
He may not be the only center available, I think this type of approach would extend our window and give us better options.
