I don't know how much.
I don't know where things start ... Treliving has an idea to go out and sign Tanev and the owners agree or disagree would be my guess. But I don't know.
I don't know if Treliving had the Sutter idea or the owners insisted on it.
I feel very confident that the strategy around Gaudreau going into last season would have ownership approval. The contract offers to Gaudreau and Huberdeau would have ownership approval.
I suspect the overall direction of compete now comes from ownership.
But I don't blame the owners for signing James Neal, as I think Trevling and his scouting department recommended it.

All good things that Treliving has done but somehow people want to put a spin on it that it wasn't his doing.
If you want to saddle the guy with Neal and other ####ty signings how about we just give him credit for the good deals also.
