Frankly, neither Treliving or Gulutzan will be safe should the Flames have a ball in the draft lottery the day after the season ends (ie. flames don't make the playoffs).
Either the GM takes the hit for mismanaging the team and the assets in/out, or, the coach takes the hit for failing to use a roster the decision makers feel is better than the result, or both are booted.
Lot's of season left, i'm sure this team sticks in the realm of mediocrity, and squeaks into the playoffs in a lower, Away team seeding, against division leading team and gets booted first round in typical Calgary flames fashion over the last 25 years.
