Too afraid to make a meaningful change.

I gotta step in here. Treliving has never been afraid of meaningful change. He’s made some ballsy big name moves over the years. Where I haven’t been happy about his moves are twofold: final touch signings (Brouwer, Neal), and flavour of the month chasing. It certainly seems from my standpoint that he’s overpaid to acquire the big name and say he won the match. Both of the above it’s bothered me. Guys like Zucker and Hamonic, are not guys you pay top dollar for to stroke your ego and show off you got the media big fish. Those types of moves probably detracted him from building an identity for the team. But anyway, it is what it is and the prospect pool isn’t that high as many other teams. Average GM at best.
