Half the first round picks? Since Treliving has been GM the only year this team does not have a player on their roster drafted in the first round is 2018.
He traded his 2015 1st for Hamilton and 3 years later traded Hamilton for a player drafted 10 spots ahead of where the Flames were slated to pick in 2015.
This is his 6th year as GM when he took over a team one year into a scorched earth rebuild where the team got absolutely nothing for their stars. Making the playoffs 3 out of 5 years when the team was starting from scratch and had missed the playoffs 6 straight years prior to that.
