If it's Treliving, it makes a ton of sense. He's part of the pool of 5 or so up-and-coming candidates (alongside Futa, Benning, Fenton, Hextall), from which it is pretty clear Burke wants to make the hire. He's worked under extreme circumstances in Phoenix and found success, showing patience and creativity along the way. All reports say he's a tremendously hard worker. He's paid his dues, cutting his teeth with the Central Hockey League, then 7 years with Maloney in Phoenix. He's clearly ready.
Beyond his resume, he's got ties to Western Canada, and has helped build a team in Phoenix that plays a Brian Burke brand of hockey. Seems a logical and shrewd hire. If not in Calgary, he'll likely get hired elsewhere this summer.
Having said all this, the lid has been pretty gawdammed tight on this GM search, so I wouldn't be surprised if they hire someone else, e.g. Futa.
EDIT: came across this Jason Gregor interview with Treliving from about 3 weeks ago, gives some insight into his approach to building a team:
