Treliving should set his sights on better options if he's trying to go all in, instead of giong back to the old well where they were "sort of competent"
Not sure he's learned from the past when moves like this were his MO, and that's very encouraging given that he's the GM of the Leafs now.

Oh I very much agree that he’s not learned a thing from his mistakes in Calgary.
He’s right to be trading picks, but it’s Travis Hamonic all over again.
If you’re going to spend a 1st, that’s fine. Spend it on better than Chris Tanev. Spend it on Hanifin.
I don’t get how a guy who won his share of trades by being aggressive and opportunistic and targeting elite or near elite players - Dougie 1 was fair value, and Dougie 2 was a huge win - became so cautious and ever more enamoured with guys who clearly were not that.
He undeservedly gets handed the keys to a McLaren and he’s trying to source his parts through an Auto Value.
