I remember when Flames fans laughed at Don Sweeney, what a moron he was, what a bad GM. Don Sweeney is an infinitely better GM than Treliving. What a powerhouse they have built in Boston, so much great young talent. So nice to see a team build through the draft, the only way to build a sustainable team.

Tkachuk, Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett (yes we know he hasn’t fully panned out (yet maybe?)), Jankowski, Brodie, Kulak. I see a lot of great young talent on that list as well or did I miss something?
Valimaki, Andersson, Kylington, Fox in the pipelines? I don’t think our top forward prospects are going to amount to much myself but regardless to act like this team isn’t building through the draft as well is completely off base.
Yes, Treliving made a calculated risk and traded away a number of picks in the upcoming draft to acquire good and fairly young talent on good contracts but let’s be honest, the Flames on paper should be competing for a top three divisional position in my opinion and it’s not even close.
Unfortunately they have fallen flat on their faces at multiple organizational levels. Biggest reasons in my opinion are the inability to acquire a scoring winger and complete failure to address the putrid play of our bottom two lines.
It’s just my two cents and honestly, I would listen to trade offers for anybody not named Tkachuk at this point. I think there needs to be a major shakeup from the top down.
