Again, I didn't even want the Flames to get most of these players anyways. But Treliving's rationale seems to be a bit inconsistent with reality.
I guess that depends on the ask from the team.

I actally think the prices were pretty high. Flames didn't have the 2nd that upgrades to a first if they win a couple rounds. Is Zucarello worth 2 first rounders?

Dzingel was a pair of second rounders and Duclair. A bit much for rental.

Stone I think the teams had a trade done in principle, but fell apart at the contract extension. No way the Flames could give him the 9.5M to 11M, especially over 8 years.
