I don't agree with the re-evaluation of the Hamilton trade, and Barzal was not the Flames pick, he was LAs pick. This Kurvers like deal for Hamonic is my main sore spot with Treliving. If the pick ends up being a 1st overall(and that could happen because the Flames could fall pretty far and the odds now are reasonable for moving up) Treliving will not be able to live that down and he will always be remembered for it.
No way he pressured to make that deal, not by management, but he might have been concerned about Edmonton getting Hamonic if he does not throw in the Lottery pick.
