I feel kind of bad dumping on a guy in this thread, especially since I think its pretty cool he's still a huge fan of the team and is totally pumped at how the Flames are doing right now, but he seemed kind of oblivious sometimes what the hell was going on, especially when his reports dropped the ball. Contrast this to Treliving, who won't get caught with his pants down the same way, ala Cervenka.)

Reflection of his work ethic - which is the trait that most people seemed to talk about when Treliving was hired - that no one works as hard as him.
I think what you describe is a sign of that.
And that isn't to suggest that other GMs also don't work hard. But Treliving strikes me as a roll up your sleeves and get into the trenches kinda guy.
