Yeah, sure. There’s a difference between willing to take risk and being reckless though.
Are you suggesting Treliving should have made the Stone trade? If Treliving had traded Valimaki + for Stone and lost the player in the offseason would have been been a shortsighted move, in my opinion. Personally, I agree with the Flames in this case. With no agreement or intention from Stone to sign in Calgary, that’s a move you can’t make. If it was Kylington + for Stone as a rental, sure (depending on the +). Saying ‘no’ is an attribute you probably want in a GM
