One thing about Treliving is he's not afraid to fix mistakes, and that's one of the strongest traits a GM can have. This is probably one of the toughest high profile jobs you can have, and between all the variables of trades, contracts, coaching, year over year variability in player production, scouting, drafting, its impossible to hit 1.000. I'd argue it's borderline impossible to even bat .750. What Treliving has shown consistently is an ability to move on and learn from situations. Changing the goalie every year. Buying out bouma. Not getting caught up with Colborne's production.
I would bet money that he'll recoup some picks before the draft, and obviously Gulutzan is going to be fired if the Flames miss.
