Wouldn't surprise me if the Avalanche connection with the some of the Flames staff is the driving force behind it though. Goulet and Cloutier where both with the Avs when Stewart made his NHL debut and IIRC Feaster said they were consulted before the Jones trade.

Jamie Pringle was also an assistant coach in Kingston when Stewart played there. There's a few guys with a read on Stewart. No harm in looking into a big RW that could really pay off. Treliving seems like the type to take his time and do his due diligence. If there are major red flags, they would know and it would be a calculated risk. My bet is other teams pursue him more aggressively.
