At least he’s not gonna make any rash trades because people in this market want revenge.

I can see why Shanahan likes him, he is carrying himself very well and answers questions directly.
I like how he spoke about the team vs core four. Lets get rid of that core four narrative.

All I can say is that I hope the best thing we have to say about him a couple of years from now isn't that he has a nice personality.

He's said more good things than I expected him to, so that's a positive.

Disagree, it's a hard cap league and everything is about where the money is spent. There are different expectations of those guys as there should be.

That was a good way of going around the question. Didn't tip his hand at keeping or trading, just that they are great players and there's a team to build.

Not really. Seems like some of you guys expected him to come out with a whiteboard and explain all the things he's going to do. It's an introductory press conference lol, it was obviously going to be a neutral PR event.
I view that as they are going to do what's best for the team and not necessarily just 4 players.
which I think you have to do ultimately. People on here are crazy, why would he come out and say, yeah lets move one of the guys. Immediately their value drops. I still think one of the core 4 is going to be moved, but they can't give that hand out immediately.
Toronto media are such jackasses, why are they asking about Dubas and Pittsburgh ? This is Trelivings first presser as GM.

Treliving knows and likes Pridham. Sounds like he’ll lean on him like Dubas did and our expert capologist won’t be going anywhere. Whew.

this is a man who carries himself very well, very well spoken, he sure sounds like he has a lot of respect amongst his colleagues around the league, happy with the hire.

The 3 priorities he gave was Matthews (seemed to emphasize that one), the other contract issues and Keefe.
