Wasn't that the sale when Treliving was initially brought in? We were all sold that he was going to create a perennial competitor with a pipeline of talent coming in from the minor leagues. It has now been what? 7 Years? The result has been the same, if not worse than those before him.
Sure, the team does now have some intriguing players in the pipeline, I'll give him that, but this would only be useful if they had an opportunity to start contributing or if they were injected into a lineup that was already highly competitive.
If the team is dead set on competing this year, moves should have been made this offseason to complement signing players like Coleman. Having a third line likely made up of spare parts in Pitlick-Monahan-Dube and a fourth line likely comprised of retreads that others teams let walk is more of the same from a GM who is completely lost.
