Treliving has done great IMO so far............but he's also had the easiest job in the NHL. No expectations on the team, tones of cap room, simply a need to fill holes and creat competition, then on top of that plum gig he gets the added bonus of a whole bunch of our prospects (which he didn't pick) be better and more ready than initially thought. Next to impossible to make a mistake.......YET.
Not his fault he walked in to an easy situation, but now moving forward, the Flames have made it harder. Closer to ready, some young depth up front, some veterans who are looking like they could be replaced by prospects, some holes on the back end, and a team on the playoff bubble probably 2 years in advance. His job really starts now, let's see how he does.
