This is disappointing news. The only way it isn't disappointing is if the Flames already have somebody in mind who will be popular around the league, make flawless trades, draft picks, signing and coaches hirings and be the GM for 25+ years where the Flames win the cup at least 3 times in the span.
Has Treliving been perfect? No. Has he been a disaster? Absolutely not. He has done a good job and in spite of missing the playoffs last year and the strong possibility that they'll miss the playoffs this year, he has helped to make the team better.
But... maybe we can speculate in the somewhat positive. King is leaving and being replaced by Burke and Treliving gets Burke's position and Maloney gets the GM job. Treliving isn't excited about it because he wanted more time as GM before getting the promotion.
