Nope. Heck no.
If this team is trying to “win now” then they had to pay to the 1st+ to keep Giordano. Which wouldn’t have been smart considering Treliving’s inability to improve the team.
They didn’t pay that price. Now we’re left with this ragtag team of spare parts. The roster that they’ve assembled is constructed worse than last year’s non-playoff team.
Treliving blew it before the off-season even began. He put the team in a no-win situation. He’s cycled through 4 coaches in 4 years. He drafted the fewest amount of players in the first two rounds league-wide in 18/19/20, and the roster today is worse than it was a year ago…except now Gaudreau has trade control, and the Flames have locked in more middle tier talent to a long term deal.
