Point being he won't trade any core Leafs unless he is forced to

They will run it back and them, their fans, and media will be dumbfounded when the result is the same.
Heck they will lose Bunting who was actually pretty good for them...I bet he does well elsewhere away from the spotlight.

Not sure that is 100% fair.
I'd say trading for Hamilton to start with was bold...same with the Hamonic trade.
Then the Hamilton trade pt 2 itself was bold...even if Hamilton wasn't happy (don't think a trade demand was ever confirmed...just that end of season chat was skipped and Hamilton wasn't happy here).
He tried to make the Brodie+Jankowski for Kadri+Brown trade (FFS this still angers me because I look at the direction Colorado went after making their version of this deal).
And I'd say a lot of his UFA signings were bold too Neal, Markstrom, Coleman, Tanev, Kadri, etc.
There are things to like about Trelivings time in Calgary...I don't think being over-patient or not making big moves is one of them. I'd argue he wasn't patient enough at times actually.
