IMO Treliving really should have pushed harder to get a 2nd round pick as it's not like Holland had other offers on the table for Lucic as I feel personally they were probably giddy that the trade was even being entertained by the Flames. A few weeks of sitting on their hands and I have a feeling the Oilers come back and take the deal. Just seems like Treliving didn't play this very well.
