I think the results of his 7+ years of being here show us he's just generally not a very good general manager, but yeah - in this particular instance it could have been that we just didn't have what Buffalo wanted and I'd say a good deal of that can likely be pointed back at Treliving's useless deficit spending over the years. I'll always be baffled that he was willing to spend so much on a poor #4 defenceman, yet is never willing to spend on actual top of the roster players.

As for this Vegas deal, I look at the Pacific division and can't help but think the 1st round is going to be one hell of a mountain to climb for the Flames (...as if it historically isn't anyways). I don't particularly like how we match up against either of those teams come playoff time.
