If the Flames don't make the playoffs then yes Treliving will very much be in the hot seat for misjudging this team and Hamonics worth. If the Flames end up giving the Isles a lottery pick or even worse a top 3 pick that would go down as one of the worst trades in Flames history. Especially considering there are some very good players in this draft. Treliving has done a decent job but I still believe he is trying to fastforward the process too much and not letting the Flames become good organically through the draft and promoting players from the farm. Lazar was a completely useless move, especially when we have guys better in Stockton. Kulak looks to be a very effective 4-6 dman, Andersson seems to be trending that way as well and Valimaki could be in the NHL within 2 years. Hamonic is a good hockey player but the Flames did not need to pay a premium for a stay at home defensmen when the answers are already in the organization. The assets used to acquire him should've been used for offense or not used at all. Trading this many draft picks is not good
