If so then I agree ... full credit. And a huge turning point ... calling the Flames core or major core of Gaudreau and Monahan topping out at that 2018-19 season would have been a brilliant piece of asset management.

I guess their wonky playoff in '19 might have affected their market value too though.
Why are we solely focused on 2019? The Flames core, namely Gaudreau and Monahan had a body of work in the playoffs (and lack of playoffs) well before then as well. What happened during the Gulutzan years?

Just because they finished 2nd overall that regular season doesn't erase everything that preceded it.

And if it did that looks even worse on Treliving.
