This has nothing to do with how he'll do as GM, but Treliving is significantly less of a robot than I sorta figured he'd be.

"Good to see Gio still playing at 75" lol

Except for that last one.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Yeah that was terrible; no Steve Simmons present though.

All in all - pretty decent press conference.  A lot of safe answers (particularly when discussing Keefe), but good answers nonetheless.

Words are wind, but there's plenty of overlap and cohesiveness with Shanahan. Treliving strikes me as an older Dubas with less hockey creativity and more corporate-friendly charisma; the man knows how to work the room and manage up. It will be interesting to see how this plays out given the resources already established.

Shanahan made it crystal clear he gave Dubas a good recommendation to Pittsburgh. Lol

Yeah. Did anyone catch who asked it?

It's also interesting that Dubas got the job of president in Pittsburgh and not just GM. Something he was likely shooting for in Toronto. Hence the sudden departure and firing by Shanny.

So I'm continuing to listen to the 590 broadcast after the press conference. Can we not let the autonomy thing go? What were these guys looking for Treliving to say? "F Shanahan, this is my team!"....

He didn't say his name before asking. I don't recognize the voice off hand.
