Somewhat interesting for those that suggested Treliving was average and wouldn't be employed again.

Well I am someone that suggested he was average. Average GM’s seem to get employed all the time and with Treliving’s name, I’m not surprised he got a job quickly.
Your point about experience is definitely valid but after 9 years, I still don’t see a ton of evidence of learning from his mistakes and I personally am not too thrilled about the spot the club is in. I do think Treliving learned a lot about GMing a rebuilding club which would make him valuable. But that’s not the situation here, nor Toronto. I sure hope Conroy doesn’t need 9 years to learn the ropes.
I’m not to worried about the Leafs capitalizing on his experience with the Flames. Treliving is definitely skilled at extracting value when selling an asset so I hope Conroy stays away from targeting any Leafs. But if there is a player on the Flames that BT covets, he has shown time and again he will pay a premium. So I really hope he wants someone here.
