No doubt about it, but context matters. That's trade deadline stuff. And the steep price paid for these relatively decent players is in line with what the other contenders paid at last year's deadline.
I mean, look at Tampa's big deadline trade last year. TB got Yanni Gourde, Oliver Bjorkstrand, a 2025 fifth-round pick, and defenseman Kyle Aucoin. They traded Michael Eyssimont, a 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick, and a 2025 second-round pick (from Toronto) to Seattle and a fourth round pick to Detroit. I'd say there's a lot of similarity to what Treliving did.
