No. I am not adjudicating on the wisdom of the Flames' organizational approach here, but am quite certain that it is not stupid by fiat because no "elite" franchises employ the same tactics. Once Treliving is extended, then it really doesn't matter.

Agreed. There are just 4 GM's tenured since prior to 2008, only Ken Holland has a cup. Keeping Sutter around as GM after 04 to 09 did squat all for the Flames anyway.
Pitts, NYR, Edmonton, and Ottawa all have GM's with less tenure than Treliving with their current teams.
