If we lose Johnny for nothing (or pennies in a rights trade), it's a full failure by Treliving because he should have never had Gaudreau in the final year of his contract with the ability to walk away for nothing. Treliving took a risk in keeping Johnny and it resulted in some measure of short term success, but if he walks? It's a failure. That's just what the job of being a GM at this level is. Risks and rewards. If Johnny signs, Treliving nailed it - but if he walks? Treliving blew it.
Same goes for Tkachuk with this upcoming season.

A team with Sutter and Treliving is not going to rebuild
You can bet your last dollar that they are going to find someone to fill in if Johnny walked. That’s the way it is, right or wrong.
And I dont disagree with you that we would find someone good from the FA
