I'm going to say this on behalf of Cali and myself.
Context is difficult for people isn't it. People got their panties in a knot over the "#### you money" comment. Well, here is the position of "#### you money" explained.
It's not about having a lot of money, its about having
enough money. Its about knowing what is going to be enough to where you don't have to put up with other people's bull####. I've worked for 40+ years and have my "#### you" money. Is it a lot of money? To some, yes. More money than they will see in their lifetimes. To some, it's not even couch change. But to me, it's enough to say "#### you" and live comfortably for the rest of my life.
Everyone should strive for this and make sure they have this in place. Once you have that, you're working for yourself and no one else. You are in the position of "#### you."
Enjoy your Kraft Dinner, and your crappy Pixel 3a phone. I think the first explains the latter. /snark (Sorry, man you made that too easy.)
On the topic of Treliving's performance, answer a simple question. Is the organization in better shape now than when he took over? If you believe it is, extend him. If it isn't, he is in a position to be fired. Frankly, IMO, the team is in worse shape. The minor league team is weaker. The NHL team is no better and possibly worse. The outcomes have been poor as a whole. A single trip to the second round - and getting blown out by the provincial rival who has a much weaker team - is not the measure that instills confidence. To me, he has until the start of the season to improve the team and getting it rolling. If this team underperforms out of the gate, Treliving should be given the full Marc Bergevin treatment and be gone by New Years.
