So what?
I can’t believe the amount of defense of the organization in light of the basic elements of the case
- the organization has been weak at RW since Iggy left. I don’t think this is disputable
- it is generally accepted that successful franchises draft their talent
- the organization has drafted disproportionately few RWs
I’m not saying anything about what Treliving thinks or knows or believes. Those reaches are yours. My case is simpler. Just observing what he has done, and how it has worked out
The GM can’t be besmirched for this because he has other things he has been worse at?
Like developing Bennett, to get back on track? Lol

The only decent Flames draftee that walked for nothing that I can recall is Brodie.
The Flames have t drafted good RWs, no doubt. It’s because they were trying to shore up other weak areas, mainly down the middle. And Treliving hasn’t ignored RW in his acquisitions. His pro scouting, however, didn’t work well when he made his acquisitions.
