I have been extremely impressed with Treliving this summer. I love the Hamonic trade and how aggressive he was in acquiring him. He told the STH that Hamonic was the top target of thensummer for the organization and he got him. I also love the Versteeg contract keeping the term down to one year was great for the team.
The goalie tandem is not ideal but I prefer we did not come back with Elliott and Treliving agreed so I am happy. If it is true that Hickey was not going to sign here then Treliving paid an extremely low cost to acquire this new tandem. The Flames are paying Smith/Lack $5.5M when their actual combined cap hit is $8.4M so that is a positive. Also I am intrigued by Ryan Murphy who was once a highly touted offensive Dman.
Hoping he adds Marleau on a 2 year deal to cap off a great offseason. Winning the Spencer Foo race was also a solid move
