I find CP is generally a year or two from recognizing the obvious. Took forever to realize they held on to Iginla too long. Took two years to get that Treliving had constructed a house of cards and the team was rotten to the core. Too two years to realize Treliving was a terrible GM and only once he wasn't "our guy" just how bad he was. The next bitter realization is going to be the minor league system and development system is in bad shape and we're about to feel it. Treliving's incompetence hurt the prospect pool and we're going to feel that the most as we hope for a retool only to find there is a gap in the pool where we need those prospects stepping in. Sometimes what looks so obvious for some isn't so obvious for the majority until it starts to unfold in front of their faces.
