Seriously?

This whole deal says to me that this was the only trade option available and that buying out Neal wasn't a possibility from the Calgary ownership.

Those pretty easy to jump to conclusions means this isn't doubling down at all.
So a deal with Edmonton was the only option? Zero choice? If that's true then Treliving is one horrible manager for getting himself into a terrible bind in the first place. I don't believe this trade was the only option unless a deal had to be done right away.
