Treliving took over this team that was in the infant stages of a rebuild.
He took over a team that should have been blown up 2-3 years sooner. Our previous GM got less value for Iginla, Tanguay and Bouwmeester than Treliving got for Glencross, Hudler and Russell.
If the playoffs are missed this year it is time for Treliving to feel some heat but he shouldn’t even be considered to be on the actual hot seat. He should get at least one more coach hire and I am confident he will be able to trade his way into making this a better team.
This was a team that had many assuming the rebuild would be extremely long. Since the Flames changed the guard we picked in the top 10 3 times and made the playoffs the other 2 years. Our top 3 scorers are under 25 as is our top scoring Dman. This team looks good moving forward.
Treliving should absolutely get more time with this team. Firing him would be moronic.
