This is the type of UFA Treliving should be pursuing.

He should come relatively cheap (although, if it comes down to the Flames or Flyers, the Flames can offer more than the Flyers because of cap space) and be willing to sign a shorter-term deal. The Flyers can offer a better chance to play in the playoffs (which he has only done once in his career), but they won't be able to offer much more than league-minimum.

Give him a haircut and run him through the same industrial-strength anti-contamination shower that was used on Glencross, Staios, and Smid and he'd be a good fit.
