He tried to make the Brodie+Jankowski for Kadri+Brown trade (FFS this still angers me because I look at the direction Colorado went after making their version of this deal).
And I'd say a lot of his UFA signings were bold too Neal, Markstrom, Coleman, Tanev, Kadri, etc.
There are things to like about Trelivings time in Calgary...I don't think being over-patient or not making big moves is one of them. I'd argue he wasn't patient enough at times actually.

Hamilton made it clear he didn't want to be here. IMO dino's comment is on the mark. Ferland is about the only example of a guy he dealt before he wanted out.
Hamilton, Hamonic, all the UFA signings - he focused on adding to the team without taking from the team.
