This Thread Instead
-Treliving is not doing his job/this sucks: he should not sign depth guys, he should not sign potential diamonds in the rough from other teams/Europe, the heck with this where is the 1st line impact players, etc.
-Dig up old article how guy who makes min salary, is not a 1st line all-star, yet managed to work hard and play a good chunk with one of the best players in the world, was demoted at one point off the first line and saw his ice team drop. What the? He is a depth player, for leauge min essentially, who was managing to play with the best player in the world for a significant period of time.
-Etc.
Sigh.

So true. Same when trade proposals are being discussed. If it ain't a Cale Makar or Elias Petterson we don't want it. Everyone is overpriced or too old for the mighty Flames.
Some people have their heads in the clouds.
As for the player. Hope he hustles. As a 4th liner that's pretty much all that is expected. Out hustle your opponent 5on5 and on the PK and good things will happen.
