The way Gino phrased the question suggested that Buttons and BT are friends, so Craig's answer was weird.
I'm pretty sure the 'just get in' mantra is Edwards mandate to all Flames management and not Treliving's. If you noticed Conroy never used the word "rebuild" in any of his interviews after getting the GM gig and Bean kind of confirmed weeks ago the word is not to be used in the building. Besides it not really relevant in Toronto as their team could sleepwalk through the regular season and make the playoffs. They need some tweaks to get them over the top in the playoffs and often those are the most difficult moves to get right as Sam Bennett's don't grow on trees but I imagine Treliving knows that now.
