I just don’t buy the “owners forced him to sign Sutter” narrative. If it was that sort of situation I feel like the owners would have just fired Treliving.

I have seen these arguments too.
Fact is, ideally Markstrom would have just been good. But what we have is not good plus excuses. I’m not saying he won’t be good. But so far, inconsistent
There are plenty of reasons the owners could ‘encourage’ that coaching decision as it has been a glaring weak spot for the GM and arguably embarrassment for the organization, and notably they have been involved in coaching decisions before.
