Most posters on this site said that the Oilers overvalued their young players and this trade proves it. Eventually they'd have to make a trade like this to get help where they badly need it.
Calgary pulls off a trade for a #1 goalie and that topic has fewer comments over five days than this one about Taylor Hall in five hours. I don't think there's been a trade BT has made that has garnered such negative reaction. If anything Treliving's trades have been fair at least or in the Flames favour, and I don't think a GM can go around pulling the wool over the eyes of other trading partners before they won't want to make a deal with him.
