Tre did a lot of good things - mostly RFAs IMO. Lots of bad things too - Huberdeau deal, trading picks for plug defensemen.

Poor coaching hires, deficit spending of picks and precious cap space to sign aging UFAs and middling bottom half of roster players were Treliving's blindspots. I will always remember how Conny described Treliving as the lone wolf when it came time to making big decisions. The echo chamber is not a place to lead from.
I have found little to dislike with Conny. No similar blindspots as above so far. His leadership style clearly is collaborative. His eye for talent in coaching and drafting may in fact be elite.
