Sadly, I don't think that is the current Flames. Too early for this. Overpaid - should of stuffed Treliving in a closet with no means of communication until mid July.
I disagree, I think Treliving is doing a great job. Some people seem to want to stay in a mode where we are on the verge and keeping all our picks. I really don't think the future has been hurt in any way. If need be we will have the assets to recoup picks. This rebuild is pretty much over and we are turning the corner. If those picks are "high" picks then we are failing. I don't think they will be high picks at all ... late round I am hoping.
