Flames GM didn't like his last trade with Kent Hughes
The Calgary Flames made some big moves last Thursday. First by trading a conditional first-round pick in 2025 and Sean Monahan to Montreal for peanuts. Second, they signed the excellent Nazem Kadri for seven seasons at $7M a year.
By the way, regarding this trade, Flames GM Brad Treliving reacted and really, he wasn't happy about letting his first round pick go.
Brad Treliving, on having to give a first-round pick to Montreal: "I absolutely hated having to do that, but we didn't have room (on the payroll), we were handcuffed and we had to free up money very quickly."

Treliving went on to confide that he had to move quickly to avoid missing out on Kadri and Kent Hughes was his only short-term option.
