Yesterday sure, but not the team we saw a few months ago that wasn't enough to beat the Oilers.
I'm not just looking at this trade in a vaccuum, it's the totality of everything that has occurred that I take into consideration.
In my opinion, Treliving needed to improve the team from last season, not just from last night and if that couldn't happen, then I was open to rebuilding. I don't look at this team and think division winner right now, I think they're a #2 or #3 seed in the Pacific or at worst, a wild card team and that's taking a step back IMO.
