The point is that it seems like any time there is a good move by management, Treliving had heaps of praise thrown at him. Any time some looks bad or didn't turn out, it's because of the meddling owner forcing Treliving to do things, or sometimes because Sutter made him bring in the player.

It's like Treliving isn't responsible for trades and signings, unless they work out. In that case, he is a wizard.
