Part of Treliving's most recent contract was that he would have full autonomy over hockey operations/decisions (likely separating him from needing King's permission etc). This roster is Treliving's work - and flat out? His decisions on his first contract when he seemingly didn't have full autonomy were better than his decisions while he's had full control.

Those are fair and accurate points to my recollection.
Let me ask this though, do you think Treliving has the autonomy to trade for Eichel? What about the supposed intervention from ownership on the Sutter hiring? Didn’t Treliving get told ‘no’ on a James Neal buyout?
