Default Should Treliving Be Fired?

I think they fired the wrong guy today. It's like being pulled over for a speeding ticket only to see a BMW blow past going 150 while honking his horn at you.

My eyes look at the GM. I think he is getting a free pass from scrutiny.

The biggest problem with the past season was goaltending. Everyone who watched the team knew it and it has been beaten to death on the Board. The GM failed to address it early in the season when it was clear the offseason moves were not working out. He failed to address it mid-season when the playoffs were still possible.

At the deadline he got good value for Russel, Jones and Hudler, but also saddled the Flames with Backstrom as well.

The Pros I see from Treliving in the past season are:

Hamilton
Brodie Contract
Russell trade
Hudler trade


The Cons

Goaltending
Size up front
Failing to address large contracts from bottom 3-5 forwards, bottom 5-7 defencemen, and top 2 goalies


Do I think that we should fire him? Probably not, but if we're going to fire Hartley for last season, we should first fire the guy who hamstrung the roster.

Um, no. Without a doubt, certainly not. Good lord, what a ridiculous thread.

Wow.

We all know GMs should be judged on two seasons of work. Right?

SMH.

LOL. Maybe it's just me then.

Then tell me what accountability do you propose for his failure to address the goaltending?

Or are you suggesting that Hartley could have done better with Hiller and Ramo last season?

If the Flames had even NHL average goaltending this year does Hartley still get fired?

Very comfortable with Treliving. Few GMs in this league I'd rather have than him.

Yes, the three-headed monster was Treliving's doing.

But that does not absolve Hartley of the issue. Hartley continued to throw Hiller out there, despite the fact that Hiller was displaying some of the worst goaltending fans have ever seen.

Meanwhile, he refused to play Ortio, letting him sit and eat popcorn for more than a month. THen threw him out there once and, surprise sursprise, he sucked too.

Treliving created the 3 goalie situation. But Hartley exacerbated it tremendously.

And this thread is ridiculous.

Not fired, no.

But I think the honeymoon is over and I don't think everything he has done so far has been great. I don't get the cult following he has.

Now that he fired the coach he inherited and will be making his own hire, he is going to be judged a little harder and rightfully so.
