If they deem buying out Lucic and replacing him with a young player helps the team you do it. If you don't think that helps you don't. But wallowing on past mistakes doesn't do a whole lot to fix problems.

I think this is how Treliving deals with it too. His treatment of players he's signed or traded for tells me he's not married to his decisions.
As for UFAs I think Treliving gets a little caught in the bidding war aspect of UFAs sometimes. So do we. We all congratulated the Flames on beating other teams to Morrison, Czarnik and Foo, and hated it when they didn't get other guys (who were equally non-factors). This kind of translates to older guys. So yeah, Treliving needs to rein himself in a bit on UFAs, particularly with the new RFA landscape.
