And Jarnkrok and Lyubushkin was Dubas. Unless Treveling traded for those same guys with the Flames. Which kind of just shows all NHL GMs are stupid.

I'm referencing the Jarnkrok trade Treliving made while with the Flames.
It's a red herring argument about NMC's. If Toronto is truly a contender, then no star player would have trouble waiving for a trade to them. However, it's far more likely that Treliving doesn't go after those kind of players because he plays it safe and only goes after depth guys for the playoffs. It's been his M.O. forever, and that isn't the problem itself, it's that he pays the same amount of assets for these 4th line, 3rd pairing guys as other GM's pay for experienced high skill guys. It's just bad asset management.
Good luck with Tre as the GM. He'll bleed your cupboard dry over the next couple of years.
