The fact this team was on the bubble and no where near a playoff lock the last 2 years is a narrative as well?
No the narrative is that Treliving is sitting on his hands doing nothing. You have no idea what deals were offered, what trades were explored (aside from the one that he actually did agree to).

But “3 of their top 4 D lost for nothing” is a pretty simplistic take. Hamonic wasn’t wanted and was essentially just cut, and his cap space used elsewhere. He was more valuable to a “bubble team” trying to make the POs as a player than as a bunch of picks. And Gio was taken in expansion. Perhaps you’d rather he was protected over Kylington? No one was going to trade for him the year before - he wasn’t a rental and whoever got him would have probably had to expose him as well.
