This is a player that would help the team, fit into the system, fill a pressing need for a right shot, and provide character and grit. However, these are also the circumstances where players of his caliber cash in on career seasons and never play up to their huge contracts.
I'm hoping that Treliving is actually just driving up the price for rivals. He's been burned on these deals before... you'd think with Gaudreau and Tkachuk's deals coming up he would be desperate to avoid a long term big ticket deal to a middle 6 player.
