That's a bit of a simplistic breakdown. Frolik is certainly a better defensive player than Cammy. Frolik is better along the boards. Frolik is bigger and stronger. Frolik is better on the PK. Cammalleri is a better shooter by far. Very different players. I'd rather have Frolik signed long term at this stage in their careers than Cammalleri.
Treliving tried to sign Russell, much to the chagrin of many. Jokipakka is not a Treliving "signing" which was the point you were trying to make originally I thought.
Raymond is by far and away Treliving's worst move but he did eventually acknowledge it.
Engelland is better than Schlemko. You seem to have a massive blind spot when it comes to Engelland, you can't seem to admit his valuable role on the team.
I used to enjoy a lot of your posts even when I disagreed with them but they have really gone downhill lately. Some serious bias to those examples and comparisons and a lot of reaches. Hudler? Seriously?

Terrible arguments:
Hudler was hurt last January, its exactly the point the person you quoted was trying to make!
I agree Frolik is better defensively than Cammy, but with Cammy the puck spent more time in the offensive zone. Sometimes a good offense is a good defense.
Treliving may have tried signing Russell, but everyone knew at one point (even Russell) that the Flames were sellers not buyers at the trade deadline and Wideman was an injured and damaged commodity.
Hudler did awesome to finish the season with Florida and was likely one of their leaders. I honestly can't figure some of you "educated" fans out???
