I don't see many people saying it's now a terrible deal. I'd still make that trade today if I was Treliving but it's not as lopsided as originally thought. If he lives up to his expectations it'll be a steal of a deal, and even if he doesn't it was a good trade at the time that every GM in the league would have made so can't fault Treliving for that either. Let's hope he picks it up and solves what ever problems he's having but let's not pretend he's doing better than he is, that's so Oilers.
