Treliving was on the cusp of fleecing Dubas (especially if the rumored Connor Brown piece was also in the deal) and when it fell through (because Calgary is a typical team listed on no trade lists) he certainly was not forced to pivot to a bad deal.
But he did pivot to a "bad deal" He lost two players for nothing at the end of the next season and did nothing to address his biggest need.

I don't believe there was no other option.

I'm not hanging BT over one deal, or non deal, though. I'm more than happy to look at the seven year body of work.
