I thought Guadreau and Monahan should have been traded last offseason. It was not a popular opinion around here at the time.

But people need to recognized it was the worst offseason in NHL history for making a trade. Almost every potential deal would have to be dollar in for dollar out. The number of teams interested in those two guys would have been small. And the return would have been nothing close to what fans expected - opposing scouts and GMs are well aware of the deficiencies of Gaudreau and Monahan.

So in an alternate reality where Treliving trades away half the core a year ago, this forum melts down over what the Flames got in return and are still calling for Treliving’s head.
