A fair market deal is surely a win. Just go back and look at the reaction. People were predicting the same term and $9M. And I wouldn't say Gross won a round this time either. I think he and Johnny screwed themselves. And the Flames. They overplayed their hand. They managed to screw the Flames too, but that's not on Treliving, for acting according to everything we know about Gross and his handling of star players like Gaudreau, Krug and Nylander.
