People tend to forget this. If the Flames hadn't traded Bennett, they would very likely have lost him for nothing anyway. And I imagine a few CPers would be PO'd because Treliving gave away this fantastic young centre and couldn't get rid of 2,000-year-old Mark Giordano instead.
Of course, the way things actually went, the Flames have neither player, and none of the assets they got are in the NHL yet (so we can pretend they simply don't exist)… so we all get to hate on the GM even more, which is clearly a win for everybody.
