Taking that to the Flames...

Treliving is criticized for consistently signing lousy UFAs.

Last year he brought in Leivo, Simon and Nordstrom. Now, none of them are Braden Point obviously, but all 3 saw their numbers drop - not just points, but analytical numbers like these as well. Is it because they all got worse as players? Maybe. But the more plausible explanation is that the team was not playing well, and anyone that joined the team was likely to see their numbers and performance drop.

Because it is a team game
