NHL Videos: GM Treliving Talks Flames Leading Up To Draft
  • CalgaryFlames.com: Flames GM Brad Treliving:

    “This is just the start of it. I wouldn’t categorize it as saying putting my stamp on it; now’s the time we can be aggressive and be creative to get better. This is all about getting better. This isn’t about any one individual trying to come up here or put their stamp on and those types of things.

    “This is about getting better, and it starts at the draft with the picks we can make and we’ll see what other things we can do both around the draft and leading into free agency.”

    “I think it’s going to be busy,” Treliving said. “I think from now, we’re in draft week, I think there’s going to be activity. I think it’s going to be as busy and as volatile of a draft week as we’ve seen in recent memory.

    “We’re prepared for every scenario. It’s an interesting time because very seldom, first of all, do you get such a lack of consensus. If there’s no moves, who is No. 1? Secondarily, not very often does the team holding the first pick openly talk about the potential of it moving. Those are a couple different dynamics, but whoever is there at four, we’ll have a nameplate and a jersey all ready for them.”
