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’m not sure brave is the word I’d use. Brave is trading away good players because you see a path to getting better. Most of his deals have been ‘buying on credit’.

Hamilton out is the main exception that comes to mind, but that was on credit to begin with...
