Just a quick question. I know that these are extenuating circumstances, but am I wrong in thinking that I've never seen a GM lose so many players for nothing?
Hamonic, Brodey, now Gio. Have their been other lost Assets that we could have gotten something for, or am I just biased?

Losing Gio (if that is the case) falls under "expansion draft". Literally every GM in the league will lose a player. That's the entire purpose. Pretty much the only team to not have lost two players IS Calgary because they were so bad that Vegas would rather have signed Engelland to a contract rather than take a crappy Flames contract (which is more of a blemish on Treliving than anything). There were teams who lost more to Vegas making deals than Calgary lost with those three players you mentioned in my opinion.
I'm all about getting rid of Treliving based on lack of success and not a great promising future, but let's not blame him for the expansion draft.
