BTW - Florida has not acquired picks this off season. They traded a first and Levi for Reinart and traded a '22 2nd for a '23 7th as part of the Stralman cap dump.

Flames were sellers and on the outside looking in. Sorry but I'm not giving credit to an organization for being out of a playoff spot. It's basic operating procedure to sell in that scenario.
You are 100% right on Florida, that is my mistake. I don't really feel like that changes my view and they did sell a player for a pick last off season.
In eight off seasons thus far, how many times has Treliving traded for draft capital? Reinhart and McCollum were traded for conditional picks, neither of which materialized. That is eight off seasons of being all in. IMO that's not really the way to do it.
