Coach affects immediate on ice performance, GM less directly, especially post TDL
Also I don’t think Tre gets fired, that was my vote in the poll. But I think he should be

You can't say that as fact.
Everything points to this going back to last offseason when Treliving apparently wanted him then, before settling with Ward.
Then as things degenerated into the season he goes back to ownership asking if he can make the change if Sutter would agree. Thats when it happened and why I dont believe it was a mandate from above and why if it had been, then BT would have been gone at the same time.
Making that change cost them a lot of money, so Im not sure they are willing to go down that road again at this point...which would be the case if BT is sacked.
