Wasn't tanking the Flames, but didn't worry about their 1st round pick because he was leaving?
I don't need to put words in your mouth, you put them there yourself!
I find it funnier to see people flip on Treliving from defending him to not because he's no longer the GM. I just don't think the guy was a terrible GM. I think some things just don't work out and he was in a build up mode not a rebuild so assets would always go out the door. I didn't like his lone wolf stuff though, suggested by Conroy.

The problem was with assets continually going out the door for middling to replacement level returns. If those assets were going out, they needed to return players that were difference makers. And while his tenure with the Flames started strong, his decisions became progressively more questionable the longer he was in the position. I was a big fan of the trade for Lindholm and Hanifin, but by the time Treliving paid to get rid of Monahan, I had seen enough of him as the Flames' GM.
