Did that hurt Boston?

It sure as hell did not hurt those “weak sister” Flames. Treliving turned three years of excellent production from Hamilton into two young core players signed to long-term bargain deals.
Of course, you are going to find every excuse as usual to deflect or move the goal posts on whatever response you elicit to this post. You will continue in this fashion for as long as the impasse between Tkachuk and the Flames persists, and will almost certainly express shock and disdain for the high cap-hit on the contract he eventually signs.
Then the season will start. The Flames will hopefully start winning early and often, and you will again retreat into the woodwork while the team plays well, only to emerge once more when adversity hits. It’s what you do: pick at every loose thread on the team when things look bad, but then disappear when they are winning, and when the season is the most fun.
I don’t mind fans who are critical, but what really drags the quality of conversation down here are fans who are unnecessarily or cartoonishly excessive in their criticism. Even worse are those who hide behind a veneer of being a “Flames fan” as a means to passively aggressively agitate the community. In the end it’s up to you to decide which poster you are: if the latter, then you undoubtedly can find better uses for your time. If the former, then maybe it’s time to make a show of good faith and celebrate the team you supposedly love for once. Is that team the Flames? Is it the Jets? Boston? Carolina? I cannot even tell anymore.
