If you also think Treliving’s successor is going to bat 1.00 on UFA signings especially in a market like Calgary, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
Markstrom, a mistake? You willing to stick with that take?
You complain about Treliving not being able to find RW talent, what do you think he was trying to do with Brouwer and Neal? What about Czarnik? Where else were they going to get this top line RW and at what cost?

All I wanted to do was show some evidence to support my opinion that BT hasn't really learned from his mistakes. And if he has, it only took 7 years.
Let me ask you a question. How long does a NHL GM with mediocre performance get to run a team? How many years of no playoffs or 1st round flops while spending at the cap? More than 7 years?
