I am without speech. Treliving and the Flames would lose all credibility.

In fact, its likely that Treliving could not legally do such a thing, as it would go against the parameters of the agreed deal.

And the payment of Debrusk for doing this deal is so much more than what the Flames should reasonably expect. Because the alternative is zero.
It doesn't matter because sign and trades do not happen in the NHL. It doesn't matter if it brings an asset in or not, good luck selling that to the general public. Tre's head would roll. Why would Boston even give up an asset like DeBrusk for one extra year? They wouldn't. Not one part of the idea is realistic.
