I don't really have a handle on how Treliving prefers to do business. Offseason vs in season evaluations and personnel decisions. I haven't seen any indication that he fights with his prideover decisions that he has made. It seems that he has tried to correct mistakes that he has made.
Im also pretty sure that he doesn't sleep.
All that being said, with Treliving and Burke at the helm and a slightly fidgity ownership group combined with the offseason feeling that they were gearing up for "going for it" more, you have to think there are behind the scenes in depth evaluations going on. The Flames are underachieving, big time. That's pretty much the beginning and the end of it. This team is underachieving.
We will never know the details, but I wonder what the results of the evaluations show.
If I were a betting man, given the lack of decent alternatives, I would guess that it will be status quo for the rest of the season to allow the leadership of the team to try and right the ship. If its a missed post season, or another one and done situation, everything should be on the table.
In my opinion, preaching patience last year made sense.
This year, whats their excuse?
