What scoring help do you suggest the Flames should have picked up in the off season? If it's that easy lets hear the moves you would have made?
Treliving has essentially had 3 drafts. Out of these we have Tkachuk, Parsons, Dube, Fox, Andersson, Mangiapane, Kylington, Valimaki, Ruzicka. 6 of his players were at the world juniors. I'm curious to know how you think he has done a bad job there.

I would have used the picks for Hamonic and grabbed Turris, he is not a bad player. One of those right handed shot 50-60 point guys.
I will save you the time and say "but we have no idea if he was available in the summer, or he was not available, he was only available on November 6th."
I also would have been willing to flip a 2nd or even two 2nds to the Islanders for Eberle.
The reason the Flames did not pick up any scoring was because they did not prioritize picking up scoring. The GM wanted to grab another dman.
6 players at the WJC is sort of meh. There are 220 players in that championship, and even after you severely discount Denmark, Slovakia and Belarus, 6 players would be nominally above the average in a 31 team league. I am more curious to see how many guys Brad has at the 2019 and 2020 WJC.
