You are right there. I don’t see the Flames doing much in free agency unless they can get in on Tavares which is unlikely. I do think trade is the way they go but I don’t think Treliving will move one of his top 4 unless he is very happy with the return. Without picks one of those top 4 Dmen on the team make the most sense to move and I would further narrow that down to Brodie or Hamilton
Treliving has had more misses than hits with free agency. Engelland, Frolik, Johnson,
Raymond and Brouwer represent his biggest misses.
Hiller was good year one and awful year two.
There were guys that didn’t work out but also didn’t hurt the team in Jagr, Glass, Grossman, etc.
