IMO Treliving has made 2 mistakes.
In his first summer as Flames GM, he was too liberal with cap and term in free agency. Raymond was bought out. Billing demoted. Engellend has redeemed himself.
In his 2nd offseason he tied himself to a 3 goalie situation. In fairness, the Ortiz contract was signed by another GM, and the other 2 goalies helped bring the Flames to the 2nd round the year before.
If memory serves me right, Burke made some very negative comments about being a "lame duck" as a GM in his last year without a contract. I believe Tre has been re-upped, and it has not been announced yet.
