Why did it not work in Carolina? It's really quite unbelievable that he just always hasn't always been this good, massive numbers from playing on the top line notwithstanding.
If it wasn't clear before, it's abundantly clear now, Treliving (and co) are playing chess while the rest of the league plays checkers. Not only did they get a secret agent to dismantle an opponent from within (Chiarelli of course) they played the long con where Peters was set to come to Calgary years ago, so he downplayed Zebulon and Hanifin in his tenure with Carolina so that when his contract option came up, he jumped ship to Calgary and brought his best, "underperforming" players with him, Tre just had to pull the easy trigger.
