I imagine Treliving's moves might even have been competent without Burke constantly pushing his vision although Tre is hardly absolved for that.

LOL
Burke has been meddling since day 1. He was instrumental in the Flames drafting under-sized forwards Mangipane and Phillips in the past 2 drafts.
Bollig cost this team a 3rd round pick that is the closest move I can think that is a Burke move. What other moves has Treliving made because of Burke?
The Flames got pushed around by the Ducks in 2015 and Johnny gets abused nightly with no retaliation. I would say this team is not big enough or nasty enough right now.
I am not worried about Burke unless he does go through and fire Treliving and replaces him with Nonis. If crap like that happens I want him gone as well.
Treliving has had 3 years to work with this team and I feel he deserves 5. His trades and drafts look good and his free agents are a mixed bag (Frolik, Engellend, Johnson, Versteeg good, Brouwer, Raymond, Setoguchi bad)
