bridging Tkachuk was stupid if he had the option to sign him long-term instead.I don’t see how Americans not wanting to sign in Calgary was Trevlings fault. All our players very openly want to stay anyway.
I'm not a huge Treliving guy but I'll at least give him a chance.If this is the choice he makes, I will be fully and enthusiastically on the “fire Shanahan” bandwagon.

Some of Treiliving’s greatest hits on the contract front, for reference’s sake:
Huberdeau 10.5 x 8
Kadri 7 x 7
Monahan 6.375 x 7
Markstrom 6 x 6
Neal 5.75 x 5
Coleman 4.9 x 6
Hiller 4.5 x 2
Brouwer 4.5 x 4
Frolik 4.3 x 5
Zadorov 3.75 x 2
Stone 3.5 x 3
Bouma 2.2 x 3
At least we know what he’ll do with Matthews and Marner.
Bit of column A, bit of column B. The timing lines up perfectly for Matthews to be his next Gaudreau and Marner his next Tkachuk. Almost seems scripted.Yeah, either A) Let them walk in free agency or B) trade them for 2 31 yr olds and promptly sign those 2 to 8 year contract extensions
Or maybe he snowed them with "won't make that mistake again" contrite BS?Yeah, either A) Let them walk in free agency or B) trade them for 2 31 yr olds and promptly sign those 2 to 8 year contract extensions

He helped build a strong team
Seems pretty good to me tbh. You can argue he gave out a lot of shit contracts but it's hard for me to ignore that he built a team that was consistently top 5-10 in the nerdies by the end after inheriting literal trash.Treliving is still fairly young for a gm.
