That's short-term Oilers thinking. That's why they had to rebuild the rebuild of the rebuild - because management ran the team like a bunch of impatient fans.
The question Treliving asks himself is what path will be best for Tkachuk's all-around development in the long term. The immediate needs of the Flames shouldn't even be a factor.
