This GM is just a complete lame duck at this point and the Flames are in big trouble with pizza boy at the helm for another year.
Just love how moves are judged based on opinions of what may have been available.

Bubble teams don't move their captain at the deadline.
No teams do well moving big assets in a cap flat world.
The expansion spot became an issue because of another great free agent signing.

Treliving has made mistakes. I keep saying over and over again that there is plenty to attack if you don't like that guy instead of creating your own fantasy market with options and then criticizing someone for not exercising an option in this dream scape.
