It wasn't for lack of trying. Unless you think Kadri and Zucker wouldn't have moved the needle some.
Then again, "coachable"? How many of the present players, especially top 6 guys, were acquired by Treliving? Tkachuk and Lindholm are Treliving products and I think they have bought in best to Peters' (Lindholm is a bit surprising that way given his history).
If it's Johnny and Monahan who are uncoachable, it's not Treliving who "presented" Peters with them. They were drafted by Feaster (who can also claim Jankowski. Backlund was Sutter. Bennett you can sorta chalk up to Treliving but I suspect that was a scouting staff pick given his time on the job.
Treliving is certainly responsible for the D except Brodie and Gio and the goalies. But the young D is seen as a strength, and so is Rittich at least. He is also responsible for pretty much every other forward. To the extent they are uncoachable, fine.
