My biggest beef with Treliving and the flames has been moving quality picks in rebuilding years. If you want to talk about why the cupboard is bare, it's because of those ill advised moves. However, the flames have been on the end of what is looking like a franchise defining trade that promises to turn that all-around.
Everything is coalescing.
Giordano looks incredible. Hamonic looks incredible. Tkachuk looks incredible. Bennett looks incredible. The emotional centre of the team is feeling it right now. The contracts are lining up. Valimaki and Andersson emerging is breathing new life.
They've been this team for a quarter of the season now and their best players are all in their primes. The team feels and looks like they can win in any game, in any building.
If you're going to trade a second round pick for freaking Lazar, put your balls on the table and attach a 1st rounder to it to get a real effing player.

And yet you think we're all in this year, balls to the wall. So I guess he did something right with those picks.
