Results are what matter.
I don't give Treliving any credit for deals that didn't happen, regardless of whether those deals would have been good or bad. There's at least half a dozen of them now.
When Feaster was GM, he almost acquired a top 10 pick in exchange for a Ribero buyout (good), yet he almost lost a top 10 pick to an RFA offer sheet (bad). I don't give him credit for either of these.
Even Paul Byron had a ton of breakaways while he was on the Flames. I don't give him credit for these chances - he didn't score. Same goes for Sam Bennett in the recent exhibition game against Edmonton.
No individuals in the Flames organization should rely on excuses.
