Any other team that the Flames traded him to would have known they were losing him as a UFA after one year.

So what kind of deal do you think Treliving could have made a year ago?
Would it have been more than nothing? Because that’s what we’re about to get. The truth is that’s brutal asset management for the organization. You find a diamond in the 4th round, and he walks for free instead of making a trade before the limited NTC.
