I hope Treliving feels some pressure. Every executive should.
Yes continuity is important, but not at the expense of having the wrong guy in place. Otherwise, why didn't we keep Feaster around?
I like BT but he does seem to get a lot of praise for talking about how hard he works. Is he more thorough than other GM's? I really have no clue. His "thoroughness" in hiring a new coach ended up with the Flames being the last team to fill the head coaching position this summer, which I don't believe is really a good thing.
Most of his trades have been auctions of pending UFA's at the deadline. I will be interested to see if he is able to pull off a trade that involves moving a meaningful roster player. He has not been able to shed any of the team's bad contracts.
