Based on the OP question, "Free agent period: successful or not?" the response is not. Based on the framing of the question in this post, "how would you characterize the signings by the Flames...are you happy or not?" I would say moderately, but not close to being completely satisfied. Still lots of work to do and I think a work in progress. Ask this same question as we go to training camp in three weeks. I think the team looks different at that time and we will be better positioned to judge Treliving's work.
The draft is something we won't know how successful it was until three years from now. I find you don't really know what you have until three years have passed and you know what the players look like once they have moved on from their amateur clubs. So this draft receives an incomplete as we likely can't determine the job the staff has done until 2023.
