A bunch of first round exits and playoff misses in between. Patience is wearing thin but even moreso considering the team does not have a pick in the top 62 to improve over the summer even if they have a bad season.
The jist I took was yes Treliving should be feeling the heat, he is tired of a mediocre team, and no picks means no patience.
Pretty sure that is where Roof Daddy is coming from?

Ah, I see.
I would say it's pretty hard to navigate these sorts of things over 30 years. GM's are focussed on the here and now, or at least the 5-6 year plan. There are far too many moving parts, and it's only getting more complicated.
I'm sure if you were to have a candid conversation with Treliving, he probably hasn't spent more than 2 mins thinking about the Flames of the 90's or even 10 years ago. Sure, it's frustrating for the fans, but the reality is that the Flames hockey ops have a plan and they're likely sticking to it.
At the end of the day, having picks in the top 62 this year at this moment doesn't mean much. The cupboards are sufficiently stocked, and the Flames can recoup those picks between now and the end of June. It's kind of mind boggling fans seem to be so upset by this.
