The main problem within the team's cap is Lucic. We all know that. We all know that was because of a bad deal to sign Neal. So yeah - that's on him but saying "offload some of that" is far easier than done. Really Lucic is the only major issue. Ryan has been a good signing for the bulk of his deal.

Besides Lucic and Ryan being problems this year, I'd say the Brouwer and Stone buyouts aren't helping either.
I agree with you, you can unfairly cherry pick his mistakes but IMO under Treliving's tenure, the Flames have been below average stewards of their cap space. He is fortunate to be blessed with an ownership group that lets him spend to the cap, bury money in the minors and buy out his mistakes.
