I loved that season. It was a lot of fun. But in hindsight it’s probably true. Treliving essentially ended the rebuild by trading his 3 highest draft picks for Dougie Hamilton and then a couple years later does the same thing with Hamonic trade.
Too many picks and assets traded off and now this team has too many holes to fill with no time or cap space to fill it. Sam Bennett didn’t turn out well and the Oilers end up with a future Hart Trophy winner with the one draft pick prior. That’s a double whammy because now they’re off to the races with maybe the greatest 1-2 punch up the middle in the NHL while the Flames are wherever the hell they are, somewhere in the middle like they always are.
