I think Craig Conroy is great, but lets pump the breaks on the Treliving hatred. The guy was known to be tireless with a high work ethic.

High work ethic, kind of a clown in terms of results. His last year as a Calgary flame:
- lose Johnny for nothing
- give Tkachuk leverage to force a trade
- knee jerk reaction to sign Huby to 8 x $10.5 bonus laden, nmc that is the worst contract in NHL
- trade Monahan and a first
- team misses playoffs; enters rebuild with Huby contact a boat anchor for 8 seasons
It was a complete dumpster fire. Outside of the trades for Hamilton and Lindholm/Hanifin, nothing of his tenure was memorable in a good way.
I increasingly wonder if Tre worked the media to create an aura about himself and people ate it up. He has a lot of connections.
