Bang on.
We've seen this script before. Whenever the Flames get close, they start chasing. They trade picks for players that can play now, they make questionable UFA signings.
I suspect this message comes from the very top down. Treliving probably was interested in Hamonic, but when the price came in he may have been told to get it done despite his recommendation.
