You win a Stanley Cup with the President of Hockey Operations, it likely earns you an interview when a job opportunity pops up. I actually doubt they just put Carlyle through the motions just because of that, so I'm guessing he's at least being considered, but we also have heard tones about how Treliving will look under any rock and make sure he dots his I and crosses his Ts.
For now, we should likely not jump to any conclusions other than Carlyle's connections with Burke earned him an interview (or maybe the fact that he's won a Stanley Cup as a head coach in the last decade did) and Treliving is going to have a very complete process.
