Sweeny and Hamilton say hi. I do agree signing RFA's is easier than retaining UFA players but how does Treliving not get credit for the amazing Brodie RFA contract. Brodie is praised for how good he is and how cheap he comes. Treliving negotiated that deal at the right time and the Flames will benefit greatly for it over the next several years.

Treliving doesn't get all the credit for the players on the team but he does get credit for putting this team together and keeping it together with his contracts he signs
