He's been middle of the road and at times awful. Not much better. He's had 7 years which I believe is 2 too many.
He deserves all the criticism he gets and it is also why people fly off the handle when trades are proposed. Why shouldn't we question everything he does? Why shouldn't people be free to over react? The smartest guy in the room doesn't listen or keep his assistants in the loop(as per Conroy), so he has accepted all the responsibility. He's just not good enough.
I'm not in any way saying I could do better but in terms of head to head vs NHL GMs, he is near the bottom in my opinion.
The buck stops at Treliving. It's his team and he has built it. ALL of the issues this team has and is facing is his doing.
rant over.

He deservces criticism. He was building what many people thought to be a good team with a strong future. Now we have massive doubts. Treliving is the architect and we have a right to complain about what he has done.
What has become incredibly annoying is people turning every little bit of news into something to use as a complaint about Brad Treliviing.
Two teams make a trade and somebody will likely complain that Treliving didn't acquire on of the players in that trade.
Somebody will complain, years after the fact too, that Trelivign didn't draft somebody in the 4th round who turned out to be great.
Somebody will complain that Trelivigin didn't trade Giordano for a king's ransom when comparable trades suggest we'd all be upset with the return. If he did trade Giordano for a mediocre trade people will complain that he didn't get anything worth while. But the'll also complain if Gio is unprotected. They'll complain if he is claimed. If he isn't claimed they'll still complain about Gio being left unprotected even though he gets to stay in Flames silks.
Complain, complain complain. It's making this forum incredibly negative and hard to read.
