I think the worst part of all of this is that when I look at how Johnny Gaudreau is playing this season and I connect the dots it seems hard to imagine that Treliving isn't going to be remembered as the guy that wasted the first (most affordable) half of Johnny Hockey's career.
We love to moan about how we haven’t been blessed with high picks, but when a player that good comes your way, you damn well better make the right moves to surround him with the talent he needs to win.
As fans we have been in dreamland if we think he is anything but the best player Flames have had since Iginla; all the fawning over Tkachuk is infuriating as he is a good player, but not yet at Johnny's level if he ever even gets there.
What a mess...
