I don't have any reason to believe that a defenseman will magically be better just because they are playing for the Flames. He's playing for Dave Tippett not Dallas Eakins. Chances are he's only marginally better than he's showed in Phoenix at best and I don't think that's enough to warrant free agent money. There is the Phoenix connection for Treliving so I don't think you can rule it out but I wouldn't overpay for this guy and that's what free agency is all about see Troy Brouwer.
