What are the chances Treliving is even still in Calgary by then? Who's to say where the Flames are at in terms of winning?
I'm not terribly concerned at all about Lucic and the expansion draft frankly, especially considering he just waived his clause once already.
It's the opportunity cost of paying a 4th line guy 5+ million when the team could desperately use that 5 million to improve the massive 2nd line hole in the lineup.
But that bed has been made.
Worst case scenario you just pay a team to take Lucic like Columbus did with Clarkson. Maybe that team isn't Seattle, but Calgary doesn't care at that point, pay whatever in the immediate term to avoid losing even just a 'decent' player.

Sure but they've been picking sheets out for that bed for two years. You don't offer Reeves more money (and likely term, no idea though) last summer to play on the fourth line for $3.5M if you don't want that on your roster.
Now they have it, and it costs $5.25M instead of $3.5M
