Cali Panthers Fan hits the nail on the head.
If you look at the Lindholm-Hanifin/Hamilton-Fox-Ferland trade, I’m curious how you reconcile that with your view that the team who gives up futures losses, in most cases.
You could argue Fox was the best young asset in the trade, with the benefit of hindsight, but where are the Flames without Lindholm and Hanifin? Impossible to tell, I know. In any event, I think it’s fair to say that Treliving fleeced the Hurricanes in one of the more impactful trades in team history.
Treliving’s work at the 2020 draft also seems at odds with your position on asset management the Flames have shown. In that case Treliving acquired additional picks. I don’t think it’s as simple as ‘never trade futures’, or ‘team who acquires futures, wins’. Look at the Jets. For years Cheveldayoff was criticized for never adding to the line up. How has that worked?
