This would strike me as unlikely unless there was something foul with the organization that had caused him to sour on the Flames. He's beginning to put his stamp on this team and is no doubt somewhat emotionally invested at this point, so I'm not sure why he wouldn't seek to continue chipping away at the project. I'd presumed that if Treliving didn't want to come back, that it would be for some non-hockey related reason (...taking command of Boston Pizza? I don't know).
There isn't much debate at this point. It's pretty much unanimous that the man needs to be back. If he doesn't return, and it's deliberate on the Flames part, my commitment to the franchise will suffer for it.
