No I don't think Treliving said eff the Flames let me make this deal for my reputation.
We got players with no guarantee they would sign with us and it would a devastating for his reputation had neither signed and left as well. Maybe we flip them at the deadline but who knows what the return is.
The trade was a risk for the Flames and Treliving as well.
I think the toxicity of the season made him walk away.
