It is likely that one or two more pan out on that list, so even in a world where you compare just the players that were picked there are 7 players on that list.
The assets the Flames have left from those trades 24-48 months later are
Hanifin
Lindholm (although I would argue you should really only count one of these two players as Fox and Ferland were probably worth one of them)
I might be missing an asset from those trades, but that is really all I can think of.
Giving up 5 NHL players and potentially one or two more, all of whom are cost controlled to varying degrees for the first 7 years of their careers for one NHL asset is a tough look.

I’m meh on Treliving at best, but don’t we have to also set off players drafted with picks acquired by Treliving? Andersson, Dube, Phillips, Parsons and Wolf for example? Also, a couple like Lauzon and Looke were not actually Calgary picks (they were drafted Washington picks traded to Calgary for Glencross). Plus those picks were used in packages for Hamilton and Kylington.
I mean, yes, in 2016 you lost Kyrou (or someone around there) and Nordgren (or someone around that pick) for Elliott, but you got Dube (plus Jokipakka and and Pollock) for Russell.
