Brad Treliving on Matthew Knies' contract status: "I see him as a long-term player here... He is a hell of player, and we're working on it"
Briefly

General Manager Brad Treliving reflects on his collaborative relationship with head coach Craig Berube in an end-of-season interview. He highlights a partnership that involves regular discussions and shared decisions on team management and player performance. Treliving reassures that their working dynamic won't change significantly, emphasizing mutual respect and input. He also addresses the team's offensive struggles during the Florida series, attributing it to tight checking and lack of goal participation, stating this is a common challenge in playoff hockey and praising the competition.
At the end of the day, managers manage and coaches coach, but I believe - and maybe other people do it differently - that you have to have a close relationship with your coach.
It's tight checking. There are not a lot of goals. The easy answer is that we need more participants. Playoff hockey happens every year.
