The interesting bit is there was a decent number of rumours at the trade deadline that Treliving was looking at some bigger deals (particularly involving Carolina).
We also had our own source on CP going with that Treliving had been approved for cap-retention on deals at that time.
So maybe Tree does have a plan, and yeah - he wants it to be backed and it's the only way he'll come back. I could see this being part of this all, and it's why if Tree does come back I'll be pretty excited because you know he's not coming back to just keep doing the same thing over and over. He's a smart guy, if he's back - he's coming back with a plan.
