Treliving needs to go.

I never said it isn't relevant. I don't think it was a mistake. It just gets brought forward that we could have had Stone - yes we could have for a few games at the end of a season and a playoff series. He signs in Vegas anyways the next season. Trading a blue chip prospect for a rental was and remains too much.
Saying he needs to pull the trigger fails to appreciate that one of the primary criticisms of Treliving is that he has been a poor steward of drafts picks and past or emerging prospects (others being coaching hires and goalie). Perhaps that is not your criticism of Treliving.
With the benefit of hindsight, I still think Treliving was correct in not making that move.
