CGY trades firsts in the worst years to do it (lol)!
Now I realize there were specific circumstances and hindsight is easy but I too didn't like trading firsts for a rebuilding club.
I like Treliving but he's made some head scratching decisions. I'm wondering if Burke or Edwards put heat on him to prioritize certain traits in players or speed up the rebuild.
I feel he has put too much value in intangibles. He paid too much for guys other teams were ready to let go for on ice performance (Hamonic, Lazar and Brouwer).
Perseverance and character are important but they should be lower on the list to speed and skill- still on the list though.

Hamilton is a far more valuable player than Barzal...sometimes I wonder about CP
Top goal scoring D man in the league who plays on one of the top pairs statistically. Hamilton is not our problem
