I know this franchise has had some horrible trades, and many before my time, but this trade is right behind Dion's for me since I have been a fan. Such a short sighted and ill advised move by a shortsighted GM. Treliving and the Flames got completely rinsed.
Rasmus is very good, Dobson is elite and the Islanders were lucky he fell to them

It turned out to be a good trade for Treliving. He established himself in the old boys network at the executive level of the NHL. He is GM of the Leafs and will have a job in hockey as long as he wants it. This trade allowed Islander GM Garth Snow to be moved out with one good move as a GM. The trade was a small price to pay for Treliving personally in the NHL corporation.
