Not a good team, not a young team, no room to maneuver. No past success, no promising future, overspending and underperforming. That's the team Treliving built, and you don't keep a GM that delivers these kinds of results.
The guy talked a good talk but couldn't deliver. If there's an issue with Sutter, it's probably because Sutter can also look at the basic facts of the team and note that yeah, this is kind of a mess.

I wanted Treliving gone and I am glad he is gone. He hasn't done anything to demonstrate he is an above average GM. He is personable and by all accounts a great person, but that doesn't make his on ice results any better.
I wish him well, but his results here were not good.
I expect if Sutter was shown the door at the same time that people would be feeling much better. The good news is there is still time to hire a new GM and replace Sutter.
