Until Treliving can improve player development, the Flames are not going to succeed.
Development is more important than drafting, trading, winning, and signing.

Not sure how you can make that distinction on Treliving already. There are Feaster picks that are still young enough not to be considered busts. Judge Treliving's development, sure....5 years from now.
