Those are mutually exclusive unfortunatelyBeating Calgary and then proceeding to fire TMac would be a great way to cap off the week
I have zero worries if we’re getting Mike Smith.
Treliving has gotta be on the ropes, eh?
Only Lindholm has really payed off for him in all his deals so far.
I wonder who will outlast each other between himself and Chia.
You do know that Nurse wasn't drafted by Chiarelli right?I don’t think the comparison is even close, rightly so or not. There are no rumblings about Treliving’s job in jeopardy and almost daily rumors of Chiarelli’s. Treliving is 0/3 in finding a competent goaltender and the Neal/Ryan/Brouwer deals look terrible but he has a lot more goodwill banked than Chiarelli. Hamilton trade was good his re-signings are always A+, he seems to have found a good coach, Frolik deal is good, Rittich seems like a good find, Tkachuk/Valimaki/Andersson drafts were good. Now look at Chiarelli. Acquiring Maroon was good, Nurse was a good draft pick, Bear/Yamamoto/Bouchard look like good picks and that’s about where the good stuff ends. Hall deal, Eberle deal, Lucic signing, Reinhart deal, coaching hire, all fricken abysmal. Talbot seems to be a one and done goaltender so even that deal doesn’t look so good now. Kassian deal sucks, Rieder/Brodziak deals are an overpayment, Russell deal is a huge overpayment, drafting Puljujarvi was a huge mistake. How any GM can be gifted a player like Connor and build absolutely nothing around him is criminal. I cannot wait until Chiarelli’s is out.

You’re assements of the Rieder, Brodziak, and Russell contracts are terrible.
Totally. I mean, they've all been earning their contracts (Rieder will probably end up being a steal too). I can see the complaints about Russell's NMC (don't see it being a problem later IMO) but he's been worth the money.
