Hamonic - the plan was like I said above, and I don't think the new draft picks of Andersson, Kylington and Fox really should havebeen a consideration - they were years away and might not pan out (as it turned out only one did).
So I disagree with people who say Treliving had no plan or vision of the team. He did, and people can criticize what that plan was all you want. But it strikes me that people who are saying he had no plan really mean he didn't have their plan.

Your confusing plans on individual moves vs a plan for the team IMO
Getting Hamonic to be your 4th D by paying multiple high assets when the team had other much bigger holes just because he’s available and Edm and Van are in on him isn’t a plan for the team . Sure it gets Brodie a partner . Yaaay . Now we have given up premium draft picks for a 4th D, and also blocked any young D as we have 4 D locked into our core for the foreseeable future .
He never had a vision of what he wanted the Flames as a team to be and how to get there (or if he did I have no clue what it was and he certainly didn’t execute it well )
What was his plan for the Calgary Flames to win the cup in his tenure ? What type of team did he want to build ?
