Can't help but think Treliving will try to address the big need(s) around draft day. Seems to be his MO since he got here.
2014 draft he went after Bollig, trying to get bigger, tougher, more experience.
2015 he got Hamilton, huge trade.
2016 Elliott, felt like a great move at the time.
2017 Smith and Hamonic, another couple big moves.
So I do think we will see something this weekend. I think Treliving likely has an idea of whether Tavares has any interest in signing with the Flames (likely has zero interest) and also has spoken before how July 1 is when many GM's make their biggest mistakes.
Having said all that, I fully expect one of Brodie, Hamilton, or Hamonic to be moved for a top 6 forward.
