You have gone from “significance” to “impact”. I would argue that the Neal trade was significant. And I’d even argue it was impactful just by getting Neal off the books in exchange for a useful player.
Again, which big trade should he have made? Tkachuk? Gaudreau? Monahan?
If the argument is that Treliving isn’t willing to make a big trade, you also have to count his attempts which didn’t pan out for one reason or another. He was willing to trade Brodie, for example. He was willing to trade Monahan.
