That was a legit thing with Feaster and Weisbrod. I don't think Treliving is trying to be smartest man in the room. I see a once aggressive GM turn conservative after being burned by mistakes to the point where he's having a tough time getting anything done. After saying to the media at the conclusion of another disappointing season that changes need to be made he's basically bringing back the same team minus it's captain (due to the expansion draft). It's clear he wanted to make moves but just couldn't pull the trigger on anything. I understand not wanting to make a bad move for the sake of it, but bringing back the same group that never rises to the occasion is not likely going to lead to better results. I think Darryl will be able to milk a few more wins out of the team but this is not a team that is a legitimate threat to do anything in the playoffs if they are fortunate enough to squeak in.
