Coming into the season with a contract extension and some extra powers, Brad Treliving was rearmed with confidence and autonomy to truly make the Calgary Flames the way he wanted to, without any obstruction.
In his first season of total freedom, it did not go as planned. Looking to build on a forgettable playoff appearance, Treliving’s team took a step backwards, and a pricey one at that.
Here’s a comprehensive review of everything Treliving had his fingerprints on this season.
The draft
- Juuso Valimaki – D, 16th overall
- Adam Ruzicka – C, 109th overall
- Zach Fischer – RW, 140th overall
- D’Artagnan Joly – RW, 171st overall
- Filip Sveningsson – LW, 202nd overall
As usual, Treliving’s major strength lies in drafting.
