You can see why Treliving would have a hard time making moves. The stats say Calgary is a good team just suffering through a year of bad goaltending and an off year from a couple historically good producing skaters. So, if the goaltending is fixed either from changes (Wolf) or merely improved play which both goalies have shown in the past, and if Huberdeau and Mangiapane have better years, which is also a pretty good possibility, the team's fortunes turn around fast.
Add to that a pretty limited market for his rental players and unknowns for his 2024 UFA class and it's a pretty tough set of decisions.
