Gotcha.
That would almost mean the GM gets full credit for success in 2019 and none for 2022.
Getting to be quite the house of cards for some!

This, up here, is tiresome. That is a custom-built house of cards. Treliving receives credit and receives criticism, all around. The up and down success is actually one of those things that should have him on thin ice, for obvious reasons, and probably why there is much vacillation on positions on the GM. There are times he made good moves, even during the down years, and then there are times he made poor moves, even in the good years. You have to evaluate all moves based on all outcomes, which is why a GM can be fired two months into a season after making a trip to the Stanley Cup the previous season.
Evaluating an executive officer is not done with an eye on any single event, unless completely egregious in action. Evaluating the performance of these guys is based on a longitudinal evaluation and weighed against organizational goals. The most import questions to ask are; has the organization achieved goals set over the years?; has the organization improved from when the individual started?; is the organization positioned to achieve success in the future based on the moves of this individual? These determine if the guy is earning his keep, and why this summer is the most important one in Treliving's career to date. Current on ice performance is wonderful, but is only one measure. The path of the team and whether it can sustain itself for the next five years is how the GM will be measured.
I agree with Erik, let's just enjoy the run and rehash this on July 1st. By that point we will know if we've kept or lost Johnny, whether Tkachuk is one foot out the door, whether Mangiapane is affordable, whether Monahan and Lucic are long for the team, and how the draft went. Until all those things are resolved, Treliving is going nowhere. He'll present his plan to ownership and we'll know how much support he has by the moves he does or does not make. Until then, enjoy the push for success in the playoffs. This team is finally fun to watch at the right time of year. Let's just soak it in.
