I would argue that the accumulation of picks is not as important at this stage of their cycle as it was three years ago.
In any event—and as I have pointed out to you several times previously now—a more permanent solution in goal over the past two years would have cost Hamilton, Tkachuk or probably both. That is not a price I would be prepared to pay, and it would seem that neither is Treliving. He is trying to build a complete team, not just resolve goaltending.

You are over reacting to a benign question. I don't think you can argue acquisition cost matters in one scenario, but not in the other. As you correctly point out, he is trying to build a championship team not just resolve goaltending.
