Didn't Conroy lament upon his hiring what as much as he respected Treliving he felt left out of most things as Brad tended to work alone. That's not exactly a good team environment Treliving was fostering either.

Oh I completely agree.
The thing is, I think a lot of blame is being leveled at Sutter and Treliving seems to be skating away scot free and I dont think thats reasonable.
Maybe Sutter was an Ownership hire that circumvented Treliving. Treliving sucked balls at hiring coaches, if they went around him one time and hired the Jack Adams winner....that ought to say something. If that then fell apart...well, who the hell knows what happened there.
I just think that the narrative that Treliving had no autonomy or was beholden to Owner's wishes at all times is unfounded and further, I dont think they wanted him back anyways.
