People don't like change, but sometimes it's for the best.

Maybe the next guy is more future focused and comes up with a clear plan to capitalize on our next franchise player (Wolf), and can get us to the next level (rather that alternating in/out seasons).

Treliving did some great things, especially early on in his rebuild. He kind of painted himself into a corner later on, but in part to no fault of his own (players leaving). I think he did pretty well as far as the hand he was dealt.

His glaring weakness was free agency. Neal and now Kadri hurt the club. Again, at the time those players were sought after, so what are you going to do? Hindsight is 20/20. But desperation moves have handcuffed the team for a while unless they tear down the old core and sell. A new GM won't be sentimental about those players and is more likely to pull the trigger on those moves, so this could be good for us who want a change of philosophy.
