I can understand why people are concerned because our GM has been mediocre at best over the last 3 years.
Flames were on the bubble the last 2 deadlines and sat on their hands. 3 of their top 4 D left with no return during that time it is a fact. Lucky for them they had 2 internal guys step up and used free agency to solve the other problem.
They do not have the same option for the forwards. The best 2 players they have had could be lost for nothing soon. No internal replacement or free agent that is going to come in. In addition almost all the key free agents for 22 have extended with their teams and now Johnny is the clear top guy.
Maybe it works out but Trelviing has not done much of anything to instill confidence in the fans that he has this under control.

Man, so much narrative and no evidence. Yes, the Hamonic trade was bad. So Treliving should trade him for picks in the midst of a PO run? I bet you hated Hamonic when he was here and now you’re upset he was let go. Who exactly wanted him as a rental again?
This is a lot of hand wringing over something that the team doesn’t have a history of doing for its top players.
