But yeah I'd say he's great, you don't have to.
But using Draisaitl is an interesting one as that contract was a massive over pay and partially responsible for the boost in contract values to RFAs ever since.

Well Draisaitl is only an overlay if other rfas continued to sign for below what they paid him. But other GM’s did not do that, they merely followed. The Flames will likely pay Tkachuk more than Draisaitl between now and 2025 and Draisaitl will most likely be the better player between the two. To me that makes the Draisaitl contract a good contract for Edmonton, they are getting him for below market value.
I would be curious in terms of RFAs who you think Treliving is better than on that list? Is he better than Chevaldayoff? Poile? Yzerman? Tallon?
I guess you said he is great but I see a number of GMs that are greater, so maybe it is like a participation ribbon for greatness.
