Just as some random hypothetical but I would of happily of traded UFA lindhol, hanifin, a late 1st and schwindt for a petterson, stzutle or robertson level player.
I understand that Tre was backed into a corner and did the best he could. It was a good deal given the circumstances. It was never a home run.

The unicorn didn’t want to sign in Calgary and gave Treliving multiple options, which was completely unrequired and a gift.
Treliving made a good trade.
Then, instead of turning what we got into, say, Perreault, Sandin-Pellikka, Basha, and the Monahan 1st, here we are missing the playoffs with 3 retirement contracts. I think that level of talent is the minimum we would have got.
