- Shrewd trader: first he acquired Hamilton, then when that wasnt working he picked up Lindholm and Hanifin for Hamilton and FerlandAs a canuck fan just curious what he has done to warrant an extension?
thanks

- Locked up our young core of Monahan, Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk to sweetheart deals (the Tkachuk one less so but he still did alright considering)
- Hired Bill Peters who took the Flames to a 50-win season last year
- Pretty good drafter (a lot of this is more on the scouts to be fair)
- Signed Rittich who could very well be our next #1 goalie
Only knock on him really is his free agent signings, as he has overpaid for Brouwer and Neal in recent years, forcing him to use buyouts or trade for equally bad contracts to fix those issues.
I'm probably missing some stuff but those are the big ones... he's gone a great job bringing stability to the franchise after the years of Sutter/Feaster/Burke.

- He did hire Peters but he also replaced Hartley with Gulutzan- Shrewd trader: first he acquired Hamilton, then when that wasnt working he picked up Lindholm and Hanifin for Hamilton and Ferland

This may have just been a function of Tre just deciding to deal with his own business after all Flames contracts were dealt with.Interesting they waited until after the Tkachuk singing.
Chucky sings..Interesting they waited until after the Tkachuk singing.
You sure?Yzerman is not Treliving.
- He did hire Peters but he also replaced Hartley with Gulutzan
- He did find Rittich but he also acquired a lot of meh to awful goalies over the years
- Gave Paul Byron and Brett Kulak to the Habs for free
Overall he's still the best Flames GM I've ever seen and deserves the extension!
