And I'd think there would be more experienced business people suited for the role of overseeing the business aspects of hockey ops. I don't know what would make Tre qualified to be dealing with new arena.

Thing is, they’re paying him, they may feel like they should get something out of it.
Treliving did found a hockey league, and oversee a merger of that league, so presumably he’s good at organizational things.
POHO has always been a vague and undefined position to me. It seems like different teams treat it completely differently. In some, they are central to everything and in others they seem like figureheads. And it wouldn’t be the first time someone got fired upward into that spot.
