It’s true Treliving traded picks when he thought the team was about to make a big step forward (maybe not contend for a cup but the players he got looked to be guys who would contribute for a while).
In his “good” GM year, Sutter had a team that was just making it into the POs for the first time in years. He traded two 2nds, a 5th and 6th to get goaltending and depth. And it worked too.
