Sure fans and media typically do want to blame someone but I don’t. Or at least I don’t blame Treliving for not trading Tkachuck earlier. Why would I? I’m not in the room. I don’t know what’s being discussed between the two parties. I’ve never even spoken to either one of them but I have seen Treliving at the farmer’s market. I don’t use hindsight and selective memory to think I’m smarter than someone I’ve never met about a situation I had no first hand knowledge of.
Even if Treliving did trade Tkachuck earlier is there any reason to believe he could have swung a better deal? Bear in mind, that’s before Tkachuck had his 104 point season under his belt. And since we’re in the world of make believe, what deal out there was available? If Treliving did trade Tkachuck earlier and he went on to have the success he is having now, what are the chances that people wouldn’t be blaming Tkachuck for not hanging on to him longer??
Be real.
Singling out one person to blame is stupid in most cases, including this one.
