Sure, there a point being made about how to build an organization, I get that.
What happens if the Flames didn’t sign Troy Brouwer, for example. Who fills that spot? Spencer Foo? This goes back beyond Treliving’s hiring but the organization, under 4 GM’s now has used UFA signings as a way to acquire NHL talent. People may want the Carolina Hurricanes or Winnipeg Jets, but I skeptical that will ever happen short of a change in ownership.
