Man, the bickering is unreadable at times. Just put people on block if you can't stand particular posters - no need to call a POS or anything.
Back on topic, I don't think Treliving could realistically be dinged for the Markstrom deal either. He was coming off some great seasons, is a big bodied guy, so had the markings of someone who'd be decent for a long time. Treliving could be blamed for a ton more - Hamonic, Lucic/Neal, Kadri, Huberdeau (extension), etc., because each of those there was noticeable arguments to be made at the time as to how bad it could be. Treliving drank his own Kool-Aid and when he wanted someone he would have to get them which is why he paid the price he did with Hamonic and select others. Anyway, happy the Flames and him separated. The jury is out on Conroy but Treliving is messing the Leafs, so that's good.
