Agreed. The Hamilton move was certainly a planned move as he went into the draft shopping him around. Tkachuk was certainly a reactionary move but in both cases I was extremely pleased with the returns on those deals. The Hamilton trade was his best move as GM in my opinion but depending on the extensions for Huby and Weegs I think that move may end up being his best work.
I do think if the Flames decided to move on from Treliving he would become a GM again in short order. He has gained a lot of league wide respect and admiration after this most recent deal no doubt.
