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

Not really sure how any of that is on the GM, if anything that's on the coaching staff in Stockton. Maybe Treliving is picking the wrong place for guys to play, but that seems like a bit of a stretch to me.
