Do you just sit and wait for someone to slip up, so you can swoop in and feel better about yourself?
I was simply making a joke about how Tre himself would like to go back in time and select Demko, and you pointed out that it was Burke's draft. Does this mean that we should deflect all blame away from Tre, and put it on Burke for anything that happened during his tenure here?
I doubt anyone is as big a fan of Treliving (or Burke) as I am. It wasn't a shot, just a joke-relax, keyboard warrior.

Easy there.
My post wasn't even that bad, it was actually pretty benevolent. It was not intended as an attack on you per se, but more towards the group of people who
would make that argument as a way to cast shade on Treliving. No need to overreact here, you could have clarified your intent and perhaps got in on the joke and laughed it off.
You made a post that directed blame towards Treliving for the 2014 draft, I guess I missed the sarcasm in that the intent of your post was actually the opposite. That was not clear. At least two of the more articulate and balanced posters on this forum thanked my post, so I suspect they read it the same way I did.
I haven't had my eyes on the 'fire Treliving' threads because they are basically just a sewer for rable rousers to vent their,often poorly thought out, arguments. Regardless, your post would be made in full force and in lock step by many of these types of posters here who think Treliving is to blame for that draft while pointing out long list of other faults, some fair, some not. Make no mistake these types would complain no matter who the GM was. Why would anyone want to engage in a discussion with someone whose arguments are rooted in 'Fire Treliving because he hasn't found a 1C/1G/Elite coach' without any context? Remember the ask for Ben Bishop? It was the Flames first in 2016(Tkachuk). The very same people who are criticizing Treliving for not acquiring a 1G are the same who would be livid they traded a top 10 pick for a 1G.
So, apologies if I took your post at face value. It sounds like we're on the same page. Moving on.
