The longer Treliving holds out for GG to try to right the ship and has the team producing and winning more often than not, the more this team is gonna set themselves back further and further in points, and keep accumulating more losses than wins. This is back to back seasons now that the team has looked incredibly sloppy, and don't have any excuse to be so considering how the lineup looks. The only difference is they got incredible goaltending. If they didn't have it, Flames very well could be winless right now.
I have no confidence in Gulutzan, and think that he's more of a hinderance on Flames success, than a contributor. I hope that Treliving has a very short timeline how GG to have this team playing much better before relieving him of his duties. We can't expect to dig a deep hole back-to-back seasons, and try to scratch and claw for another wild card spot. These are the years that this roster needs to start make noise, and play hockey in May. We can't waste the contracts that are on fair deals for this franchise right now.
