Hey! My phone works great, thank you very much!

As for Treliving, I've always considered the GM position as one that's difficult to assess complete success or failure. (Unless you're an Oilers GM). Treliving can't control players' production. He can't control their human nature.

What he can do is his best to put the team in a position where it has a good chance to succeed, and hope for the best. He can keep a flexible cap scenario, he can provide the team with depth and options, and he can maintain a future for the team.

He's had decisions that backfired and ones that looked very good, and IMO, the good ones have outweighed the bad enough for him to have my trust. I trust him to make the right call more often than not, and that's what I want from a GM. The guy can't hand-deliver us a Cup winner. It's vastly luck-based. All he can do is continue to make more good decisions than bad, and hope that the team he assembles breaks through at some point.
