Curtis Glencross and Kris Russell were valuable trade chips that Treliving turned into a multiple draft picks. These picks add up especially when our GM as been loose with using them in trades out. Just being things have different levels of value doesn't mean the most expensive piece in the collection is the only one that matters
One trade, that didn't happen.

Oh good Lord. Now you think Treliving should have been in sell mode that year like he was when he got rid of Russell and Glencross? You think he should have moved Brodie and Hamonic for picks in 2019-20? When the Flames thought they had a shot to go somewhere in the POs? Who was going to play D again?
Nah, what happened was that Hamonic was let go and his cap space was used for someone the team needed more, and Brodie chose where he wanted to play (he could have returned). As it ended up, Markstrom/Tanev > Brodie/Hamonic.
