Well if you consider the interview as a whole, Treliving squashed a lot of trade rumours:
1) The Flames are likely drafting at #16 (so 1st rounder is not being traded)
2) Flames are not in on Ovechkin
3) Flames can't acquire players before the expansion draft
4) Flames will lose a player to the draft (ie, Brouwer)
So that basically rules out like 50% of the trade rumours.
