I didn't know that Stone was unlikely to sign in Calgary at a reasonable amount. If that's the case, I don't consider it a failure by Treliving.
Rather, I just hate the Vegas Golden Knights even more.

I still don't how he wasted picks on Gustafsson and Forbort when the team was obviously not a contender. Giving a 3rd round pick for a player who is now frequently a healthy scratch (Gustafsson) seems like a stretch. And I thought Gustafsson was much better than Forbort.
He should have learned his lesson from the Fantenberg trade.

The Flames have a long history of doing moves like this.
Feaster's first trade was the acquisition of Modin for a 7th round pick (2011).
That 7th round pick is now Colin Blackwell who has 10 points in 22 games for the Rangers.
These late picks can add up. Some of them end up being players.
