You'd have to think given the Brouwer and Neal debacles that they did some sort of a "how did that happen?" analysis.

Yeah, I thought Tanev was literally just Brouwer the defenceman…but clearly the Flames had done some good pro-scouting on that angle, as Tanev has flourished here.
In regards to Hyman, he’s the opposite of Brouwer in my eyes. A guy who drives play and produces well. If we do land him, I like the player profile and I think it shows a strong change in approach towards free agent forwards. The term will be problematic, but he’ll be a good player for the first half of the deal and that’s an improvement on those disastrous Neal/Brouwer signings.
Signing a player like Hyman, signing Darryl Sutter, and signing Jacob Markstrom all in the last calendar year? That shows me that Treliving is improving as a general manager.
