Treliving loves D. Always has. First significant move was to bring in Hamilton. Paid a ton. Then drafted two more in the same draft. Two years later, traded for Hamonic. Even in 2020, they traded 19OA for a 1st and a 3rd that turned out to be a D.
No GM bats 1.00 but you’re a little premature saying the Flames made a mistake with the way things worked out. The players are still 21 year olds. And for what it’s worth, I recall seeing Zary as high as 16 on certain pre-draft rankings. If I also recall correctly, much of the hockey media applauded Treliving’s work.
