Whether or not that translates to a playoff appearance or any kind of post-season success is anyone's guess. Sure, Sutter did it with the Kings several years ago, but can he do it again with this roster in today's game?

This is a team that is probably going to spend a lot of time in the penalty box based on the makeup of the team. Special teams are going to have top notch, or this team is going to be easy pickings. If they make the post-season, and that is a massive "if", they will be tough to play against. The problem is they may not be good enough to make the post-season. They have what looks to be a good first line, a massive question mark on the second line, and then a bunch of guys you hope don't have the other team beat up on the scoreboard on the bottom six.
After looking at this mess, Treliving should be relieved of his duties.
