There are differences between being "unwilling" and "unable." It is not worth revisiting the MASSIVE discussions surrounding why this trade was simply not possible in the first place, but suffice it to say it was not a deal the Flames were able to make—at least not without very seriously jeopardizing their own roster, and salary cap situation.
But if your argument is that Treliving was unwilling to pay any price for this player, then I will agree with you, and am thankful that he was a hell of a lot more sensible about it than you seem to be.
