Kessel in a Flames Uni, no matter what angle of being acquired, would SRT the Flames back for years, destroy any respect the team has built, snuff out Treliving's GM respectability as being a GM who thinks for himself, and force Burke into an even darker shadow amongst the hockey community.

What are you talking about? Why is Kessel all of a sudden universally hated in the NHL and capable of destroying a teams respect factor?
I get it, you heard the Toronto media talk about his bad attitude and that he is a bit pudgy.
Seriously though, if Calgary traded for him you think the team would lose respect.
What makes you think Treliving wouldn't do his own homework, and actually see some benefit is bringing is a potential 40 goal scorer who is in theory still in his prime producing years.....
And it is a lot easier to acquire depth players then stars. 40 goal scorers don't grow on trees. If you don't think Kessel on the 2nd line with Bennett and another winger isn't a huge offensive plus on what we were throwing out there last season and wouldn't help this team I think you're off base.
