What other pieces should the Flames have legitimately moved in the summer? I am sure they shopped Frolik, Brodie, and Jankowski all over the league. We heard there was a deal with Jersey that was close.
I think Treliving has done a good job for the most part when swinging blockbuster deals. Adding Lindholm and Hanifin looked to be a transformational trade and Lindholm is arguably our best all around forward.
His heist to get Hamilton in the first place was a phenomenal move for a team that had just unexpectedly won a round of the playoffs in year 2 of a rebuild.
At the end of the day I have the confidence that Treliving will make a good deal if he is trading core pieces this summer

I dunno, treliving has made a lot of Ill timed moves in my opinion.
How much better would this franchise be had they been more patient and rode out the rebuild.... Like what if they didn't use those high picks on getting Hamilton or hamonic? Didn't double down on the impatience to sign vets like brouwet/neal? I mean it is a dumb question, who knows how that plays out.
For gm that has preached the word "process" the entire time he's been here, fail to see ANY strategy or process in his approach. When it's time to be patient he made moves to accelerate the rebuild, when the team was playing at its peak he got patient.
Now that he's stuck back in the worst place of all, back in the mediocre built team, he's stuck with the do nothing and twittle your thumbs till the offseason. It's absolutely the right move here, I place the blame of being in the predicament at the shoulders of the gm. He's great to listen to, at least he used to be, nice guy, but write down every move made, write down the year over year trajectory of the franchise during his tenure, and it's shockingly chaotic, with no trend to growth, progression, building a winning program whatsoever.
