And no, just because some homeruns have been hit with a 7th round pick doesn't mean they hold a lot of value.

Find me one trade in the history of the NHL like the one suggested. Find me a trade at the deadline where a non-playoff team gives up conditional pick, backed by another guaranteed pick, for an impending free agent. I don't believe this has ever happened before.
Good teams don't throw away picks. Good GMs use their assets wisely. I would be very concerned if Treliving started throwing picks around wily nily like that. I don't see him doing that.
I do see Reimer as a goaltender the Flames will go after, but only in free agency. I doubt they give up assets to get him. If they were going to, they would have by now. I could be wrong on this but I don't see Treliving giving up assets like that.
