I like this. I loved Tre as a GM but it was time for a change, if he stayed he most likely would have most bet on the existing core as that's his "team". It would have been harder to make important decision such as does Backlund and Lindholm get traded, what about other UFAs etc. Historically bringing a new voice is helpful at making tough decisions, this also most likely means Sutter has a shorter leash as the new GM would want to get his own coach.
Tre is a good GM and he won't have an issue finding a new job, but 10 years with a team is a very very long time.
