I feel like this is the exact sort of thing that Friedman was talking about when he left radio for a while.
I heard the segment and the biggest "bombshell" was that the Flames are ok letting his contract expire. This rarely happens. Either the guy gets an extension or gets fired. You don't want someone running things who may not be back because they may not make the best decisions.
The fact that the Flames aren't 100% convinced that Treliving is the guy shouldn't be surprising. His moves look pretty decent on paper but his team's on ice results have left a lot to be desired. I have no problem with the Flames breaking the mold a bit on this one and waiting it out. I'm not worried in the slightest that Tre will ruin the team out of desperation or spite.
