Again, the direction from Edwards, in all likelihood, was make the playoffs. Not make the playoffs in 2-3 years. Make the playoffs now. It’s been that way since the cap.

Lastly, there’s no reason to believe your suggested way of how things should have/could have turned into better results. Tkachuk’s not here anymore and I doubt, very much, it was ever going to play out any different. Laying the blame at Treliving’s feet is completely unfounded.
McDavid, he is a decent player who signed a year before his ELC expired. I think he is at least as good as Tkachuk.
