I was one of the fans who was a supporter for a while but I admittedly was done with Treliving after his summer moves. I did not like the lack of blockbuster trades, replacing Gio with Coleman and Zadorov were not amazing moves at the time in my opinion.
If we lose in round 1 and Johnny walks then I assume the Treliving needs to go thread will stick to the top of the page but I will admit he made some excellent moves including the Toffoli trade that has this team looking like a contender. The rise of Mangiapane and additions of Coleman and Toffoli have somewhat muted the lack of progression of Dube and continued downfall of Monahan. This team looks deep.
All summer we had many on here lamenting the lack of top talent that we needed to tank to get. This team currently has 2 guys in the top 10 in scoring and the best line in hockey. The right coach and the right mix of players show we have that elite talent on our team already.
