That sounds accurate to me, and a massive mistake by BT.
He was all in with this group and it didn't work.

Good thing is that they can keep the amatuer scouting staff and hire a GM that has a better grip on building an NHL roster and hiring NHL head coaches. Brad Treliving is not the worst GM in the league but he's very flawed and 7 years in he hasn't shown enough growth where you can be confident that he's going to to a 180 when it comes to making hard decisions on the roster. I've never seen a GM get so attached to a flawed core of players. Most would have made a roster shakeup two years ago.
