Agree with everything else you said. He had far more good luck than bad luck. He inherited a Noris winning defenseman and the best top pairing in the league for several years. Of course, then intentionally broke up that pairing to play Brodie on his off side...

I mean what's clear is that Treliving deserves no credit whatsoever. Everything he did that could be interpreted as positive was either dumb luck, or likely others who told him what to do.
Whether a player plays on the right side or the left is a coaching decision....
