It sucks it is not working but imma push back on your assertion that this team did not have a vision. Last offseason was pretty unprecedented, it’s hard to blame management for giving this group another chance to compete then to rebuild.

We saw the Gaudreau/Tkachuk eventuality years before it happened. Pretty much the day Gaudreau signed his last contract with the Flames the talk was when he'd be leaving. But the narrative turned into how Treliving was somehow blindsided by this turn of events. How is that a concrete vision even if we give Treliving the benefit of the doubt?
