I have stated a few times that the rarest position on this team was not a #1 center, but rather a good coach. Sutter also did a heck of a lot more good than bad in his tenure as GM, but 3 poor coaching hires resulted in a knee-jerk attempt to save the season, and it cost him both his job and his reputation.
I hope Treliving doesn't buckle under the pressure to do 'something' to salvage this season. Well, at least not something stupid. I am sure the sharks are already circling.
This team has a huge inability to hire competent coaching staff.

I think Sutter's downfall was taking the Flames recruitment fairs to his family reunions and surrounding the organization with more brothers and cousins than the Italian mob.
