Treliving gets a lot of praise for his trades. The Hamilton trade was solid for sure. But IMO most of his trades have been auctions for draft picks, and I grade those differently as I just believe the degree of difficulty is much lower. Moving out a bad contract, or trading players that may be part of your core for something you need are where good GM's really earn their money. That and quality re-signings and shrewd UFA moves.

After getting used to the latter years of Sutter and Feaster, knowing Treliving is in charge of making trades for the Flames is one of the few things keeping my sane.
