Who cares about the Flames future

He has without the doubt done more damage to the flames than any GMs before him. Not even Feaster, not even Button , not even Risebrough who was an idiot.
This might ruffle some feathers, but I think Treliving knew he was quitting for a long time and it impacted most of the signings, contract negotiations, and trades he made over his tenure. Mortgaging the future didn't matter because he always knew he'd move on once the opportunity came up, and Dubas being unsigned in Toronto was likely his target for at least a full year.
