In on everything doesn't mean no plan though.
It's due diligence.
If a GM is moving a player you get in there and see what it would take. If it's discounted you add value by acquiring him. Even if you don't make the move you've improved your knowledge of what the market is for similar moves you want to make. Additionally, maybe you up the value a bit for a competitor

Ok, I agree with you in the sense that it is beneficial to inquire to know the lay of the marketplace - good point. But there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON why Treliving himself needs to be doing that. Maloney can perfectly well call Adams in Buffalo and ask about Ristolainen and say "what are you offering for us to take him?"
