There's no way in hell Sutter should be close to the top of this list. I went with Treliving because frankly he hasn't had enough time to screw up this team as badly as the other guys on the list. So far he has drafted decently (maybe too early to tell), signed players to good contracts, made the Hamilton deal and most importantly didn't come in and "put his stamp on the team" by trading away core pieces or firing Hartley.

100% agree. Darryl's cap mismanagement also had the Flames icing just 15 skaters for multiple games down the stretch in 2009.
Hiring Brent was a terrible decision, as was Keenan (despite him making the playoffs in both seasons as HC)
His obsession with Jokinen and refusal to admit he didn't work out, "big game hunting" with Bouwmeester, letting Cammalleri walk after a 39 goal season, trading Prust for Kotalik/Higgins, and who can forget picking up Steve Staios
