My predictions... Will win the vast majority of his trades (watch out, Connie, Tre likes to get former players!), will be more successful at the stuff he was bad at in Calgary because Toronto is a much more desired location to be in and he'll have options (players and coaches) that he never had in Calgary, will bring Toronto at least one Stanley Cup
The secret with Treliving is getting him to overpay through media hype. If Conroy wants to deal anyone, create a media frenzy and Treliving will call offering the wealth of picks. Flavours of the month he wants in. The difference in this case is Shanahan seems to have a strong sense of not making moves that mess with long term sustainability so it’ll probably keep Treliving in check.
