I think it's letting him off the hook pretty easily to keep blaming the lack of results on Calgary.

I think Treliving for the most part
- boosted the team's drafting record
- was an ace on RFA negotiations
- was better than average on the trade front
- biggest weakness was UFA signings and coaching choice
The coaching thing gets further dissected with how you read the Peters situation. I don't see him at fault for Peters off ice issues decades before so really it's down to a bad Gulutzan choice.
Toronto has media pressure.
But unlimited resources, and certainly less no trade list issues when trying to trade for players.
