Tree made the best deal, in his opinion. He may have had two or three options for all we know, and it comes down to player evaluation. Just because this was the decision does not mean it was the "best deal out there".

Aren't all assumptions open to interpretation.
I think the fact that he settled on Lucic says there were no other options, but you're right he probably had an ugly sweetner deal or two offered to him that he walked from.
Neal and Calgary's 1st for a slightly bad contract coming back for example.
But if you want we can switch the assumption to "only viable option in Treliving's opinion"
Otherwise he would have taken another one.
