I think it is unfair to criticize Treliving for the Bob Hartley signing and firing.

He was extended during a season where the players were showing strong progression, in the playoff picture, and showing an amazing mental toughness and ability to bounce back against adversity. He took the team to within an inch of the Western Conference championship round, and he was good enough to earn the Coach of the year accolade.

Instead, he should be praised for not wanting to 'Trump' the team by firing all the remnants of the past administration in an effort to put his own brand on the team. Hartley was a good fit at the time, and he was getting results. Nevertheless, he determined that Hartley's was not the system for the Flames' future success, and pulled the trigger after one unsuccessful season. He has proven that he will not make a hasty decision, but he will make the hard decision when it becomes necessary.
