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.

The drunken spending happened under Burke's watch
Quote:
With Burke (4 yrs together):
- Hamonic trade
- Elliott trade
- Brouwer signing and BO
- Bennett's prime development years
- Gulutzan
- Michael Stone trade and signing (eventually BO)
- Mike Smith trade
- Raymond signing and BO
- Losing Byron
- Bollig trade (3rd rder)
- Lazar trade
- 2014 draft faliures (0 gp other than Bennett despite picks 34, 54, 64)
- Hamilton trade*
- Bill Peters was hired 5 days before Burke was finished...*
Post-Burke (3 yrs)
- Neal signing
- Bennett's continued development failure and trade
- Kulak trade
- Ward
- Lose Brodie/Hamonic as UFAs with no return*
- Picks for Gus, Bort, Fantenberg*
- Tkachuk contract*
- League min. guys this year not working out well*
*debatable as a 'blunder', but notable/discussion worthy
