I feel like too much emphasis is placed on the conditions surrounding the pick.

Treliving gave up a first to get rid of Monahan, and that debt still hasn’t been paid. He protected it from being a top 10 pick, and yeah if it’s a middle first round pick we move back to the later part of the round.

But ultimately it’s the Flames’ decent results that could prevent it from being a premium pick, not Treliving.
