If we are back in win-now mode, we have to evaluate the GM on that basis. So even if the feeling is that he should be given at least another year to prove himself, the question is reasonable given the shift in emphasis.

Where exactly did you see we are in win-now mode? Because all I've heard from the Flames is words like ''patience'', ''it's a process'', ''we're not done yet'', ''work to be done'', etc. Sounds to me like the rebuild is still very much in full swing.
The day the BT starts trading our draft picks for immediate help when weare close to the top of the standings is the day I'll believe we are in win-now mode. As this last season proved, we aren't anywhere close.
So no I don't think Treliving should be judged based on that assertion. Judge him on how he's done rebuild-wise. In that regards, he's done a damn fine job. But to judge his work because we are suddenly in win-now mode? Hell no, we aren't close to that.
