Be careful what you ask for. Treliving has one very noticeable flaw.
He's stubborn.
Everybody think he is going to circle back to Jim Rutherford to acquire MAF. Treliving is most likely either going to chase Bishop or go in balls deep with Rutherford to acquire Matt Murray.
People don't realize how much sense Matt Murray to Calgary makes. He fits Calgary's Core Age. MAF fits the core age of the Penguins. By trading Murray the penguins can acquire multiple assets to make that penguins team deeper.
I cringe when I see MAF playing in the playoffs as it becomes more and more realistic. I would believe something like 2017 1st, 2018 2nd + Sam Bennett/Mark Jankowski + Andersson/Kylington + Klimchuk/Shinkaruk.
That is the kind of assets Calgary is going to give up to get a #1 goalie that meets the core of this team.
Having seen Janko play he is very likely going to be Calgary's #1 center in 3-5 years. He does everything exceedingly well. His offensive skills are as good as Sam Bennett and his defensive skills are only behind Backlund.
I do think Treliving being a stubborn OX could cost us badly.
