Pat asked about changing the core, Treliving believes that this is the first time during his tenure that the core needs to be looked at. Added his caveats about not making change for the sake of change and the difficulty of getting good players back.
Talked about the players brought in to fill roles but they didn’t pan out.
Team will talk with Gaudreau about extension but contact has to make sense for both sides. Nothing major here.

Not a good look that the core was never in question. That's another example of that "entitlement" Darryl Sutter was talking about. Don't just give the inmates the keys to the Asylum. You have to constantly be evaluating. It's probably the reason why the Neal's and the Brouwer's were signed and why they ultimately didn't work out as well. The core group wasn't good enough to elevate these guys because a lot of the core wasn't that good to begin with.
