Can anyone clearly explain what his plan has been or what he has been building us up to be? Because all I see is him ever doing is damage control when an issue becomes big enough it cannot be left be. We've bled picks to stay relevant in the moment yet never really internally adressing the issue or looking too long term fixes.
Looking back what trade did he outright win and it helped the team? Only one I can think of is Hamilton for Hanifin and Lindholm (Lucic/Neal im not giving credit for because it was still a bad overpaid player coming back to fix a error he already made). Everything else we gave away picks because Treliving cherishes what he has on the team, never shook up the core until it literally moved itself. And look where its gotten us? Is anyone happy with where we are? Or that this is all part of some master plan?

well said. I have thought the same thing. I mean the team did not even have a identity until Sutter arrived. The team has only won 2 rounds of hockey in the 9 yrs of him being gm.Not even close to good enough.Just stuck in mediocrity and he keeps telling us the team is good enough and it hasn't been.They rushed the rebuild and just have not been good enough.Comparing him with Feaster and saying he has done better is setting the bar pretty low.The drafting is not good enough. I really don't like the type of players the team has been drafting. Small and slow. If you go small you at least need to be fast.
