doing his best would have been getting bishop, for example. even bishop thought he was going to Calgary.
you hope things don't get pinned on Treliving. some should be pinned on him. this is the goaltending tandem he chose, and he went out and signed Brouwer. who else should that be pinned on?
I wouldn't fire the guy though. plusses outweigh the minuses.
maybe he wants to leave to take over the family business, as his dad isn't getting any younger. who knows.

No one knows what the cost was on Bishop though. Were the Flames giving up a top prospect, high draft pick plus more? Dougie's name was being tossed around at the draft as well. It is not like Bishop cost a 2nd and conditional 3rd and Treliving chose Elliott. The tandem he put together got the team to the playoffs. Bishop can now be had for cap space.
