If expansion draft allows Treliving a do-over on Brouwer, I hope he either banks it or pays up for someone who actually contribute. Skill costs.
Cannot waste 4.5 on that type of player and be able to pay skill. Cannot.
Do not want 'physical' D. Need guys who can move the puck and push the play. Please do not squander valuable resources on old school type defensemen. Teams emoloying these dinosaurs are dropping like flies from the playoffs again.
I don't know who exactly, but need to find that go to starting goalie. Can't do otherwise again.
So yeah, same as last year - but should be opportunity for a guy as thorough and tenacious as Treliving to find something out there.
Also need to give opportunity for farm to step up. The window is now opening, and Flames will need a few guys outperforming their contracts to make this all work.
