Faulk for Edmunson + Bokk ... no real fit for the Flames here
Kadri for Barrie and Kerfoot ... Flames actually made this deal & Kadri refused to waive his NTC.
JT Miller for a 1st...Critized this trade for the Canucks when they made it but it's worked out good for them.
Trouba for 1st and Pionk .... Trouba only wanted to play in NYC
I'd argue the biggest "hockey" trade of the last three offseasons was actually made by this GM.
Hanifin & Linhdolm for Hamilton, Ferland, Fox
Trades don't happen in the NHL frequent enough. This isn't a Brad Treliving problem, it's an NHL problem. NHL GMs in general are too afraid to make trades.

This year. Domi for Anderson
Last year. Can include subban and zucker.
Year before. O’Reilly, kessel, patches, Erik karlsson
Not saying we should have been in on every deal, but core pieces are moveable
We should (and hope we were) on the same deal that Carolina got for Faulk. We end up with zip for Brodie (yes, tried with kadri but getting edmunson and bokk beats nothing). Who knows maybe stl didn’t want Brodie.
Last year was a debacle. Opens up room with trading frolik then uses space to trade for two bottom pair d. Tofolli is right there and would have filled an organizational need. Passes that over for depth bottom pair d.
But I digress. Trades can be made (yes, this year is different with expansion and Covid) but we either have players people don’t want or overvalue our players relative to what other teams are willing to pay.
