All he had to do was erase the border between Canada and the U.S., so Tkachuk wouldn't be on the wrong side of it in case it gets closed again. Oh, and speed up global warming so Tkachuk could come to work at the Saddledome in flip-flops. Oh, and change the Canadian tax structure. Oh, and put Calgary on an ocean so he could hang out at the beach. Oh, and…
You're right. It's just a brutal failure that Treliving was not able to accomplish these trivially easy things.

Winnipeg made it happen...most teams do. You cannot let this kind of player leave ever....

Ever heard of this thing called ‘free agency’? You can't MAKE a player stay for his whole career if he doesn't want to stay.

Tkachuk didn't want to be here. There were only a handful of teams he was willing to sign with long-term, as he very clearly stated. The Flames were not one of those teams.
If they had not traded him, they would have lost him by now as a UFA. Would you prefer that?
