You realize there would have been terms discussed. I imagine Treliving offered him a deal based on his production at the time, and lack of PO success. I imagine Gaudreau didn't like the offer and decided to wait out another year to see what his stats were. Treliving doesn't offer windfall contracts (or bargain ones too often). I feel like he is completely technical on contracts: here are your numbers, here are comparable players at that production, here's their contracts. I've heard 8x8 was offered which, if you look at contracts then, and production, would have been right in line.

Honestly the only way I see Treliving getting fired is if he is pushing heavily for a re-build, and ownership wants to keep trying to push for the playoffs just with a team minus Gaudreau and Tkachuk.
And then the owners will go find a GM that wants to do that.

I suspect they will have a hard review at the end of his contract term. I forget when that is. I think he's safe until then.
