The players wanting to leave was on Treliving. Gaudreau getting to UFA was on Treliving's watch. Tkachuck not being locked up long term - Treliving's watch. Huberdeau contract before he even laced up the skates - Treliving.
Backlund directly said he wants to win - Treliving's duty is to ice a contender. He didn't.
A lot of people acting like Treliving was a victim here.
