Poorly worded on my part. And I hate the term fleecing.
I look at Treliving's trade record and i see a guy who got full value for auctioning off pending UFA's. Solid A there.
Prior to the Hurricanes trade though, I don't think he did great in trading for assets to play on the current club, often undervaluing draft picks and/or over valuing players he had been targeting IMO.
But as I said, the Hurricanes trade was complex and great for the Flames on multiple levels. He deserves credit for it. Still wouldn't call it a fleecing much less say he is somehow building a reputation for fleecing people.
