I've been a big Treliving critic for a while, but this sure seems to be the right move at the right time. And the price seems completely acceptable to me.
I don't think it can be understated how big a deal it is to get this done while the Flames still have 38 regular season games to go. That's tons of time to get Toffoli integrated into the lineup.
Treliving and Sutter certainly seem to be on the same page this season, as all the moves seem to be designed to get Darryl the right kind of players for the style of game he wants them to play. So that's another big thumbs up for Treliving. I'll concede that maybe we're through the growing pains with Brad now and he's getting better and improving.
