I could probably add more if I sat down and looked it up. Not all of these players panned out obviously, but all of them came in with either a high ceiling or had some really good years at a very young age. Treliving built a hell of a team. This had nothing to do with Treliving not having patience or not building "properly"...he built a really good team that was one of the best in the west for a couple years for sure. The team just didnt get the job done. It happens. Not every team wins the cup. They didnt. Now they're moving on. Its how hockey works.

Treliving inherited a couple of these players. And while I don’t consider him an awful GM, a lack of patience was a problem IMO.
In 10 years, you should have a pretty good list of players that came through the organization. Valimaki though?
