I've liked it quite a bit.
--It was a very strong July 1st because he didn't do anything.
--With respect to trades, he was, in my opinion, very close to hitting a home run with the alleged Nazem Kadri trade but failed for reasons beyond his control. The Jason Zucker trade, which didn't go through at the deadline, together with the failed Nazem Kadri trade, shows a pattern of Treliving trying to improve the team up front and doing that but for circumstances beyond his control.
--I liked the Flames draft a lot. It appears they got great value in rounds 3 and 7, and Pelletier's numbers suggest he is a very solid pick.
--I liked development camp because it showed Treliving recent drafting has been stellar, especially re: the later round picks where it appears Treliving et al. may have found some gems.
