Ironically, flamesnation.ca called Raymond "A quality first signing for Brad Treliving". Well, it was not. Treliving's first signing ended up being bought out and it was a sign of things to come

I'm having a hard time seeing how Raymond's signing would have changed the trajectory of this club. Pretty inconsequential at the end of the day, I would say. No point in crying over spilled milk that happened, what, 4-5 years ago? I mean, when he was signed who would have been a better replacement, all things considered? Did it actually prevent the Flames from doing anything?
Treliving does deserve some criticism, but this is hardly worth mention. I would say most GM's have made similar moves over their tenures.
