Do you fire the GM because of that alone? I sure don't. Not if he has a plan to address it going forward.
Or we could fire him because that's what the Flames do.

I don't know where to find this stat but I'd love to know the average tenure for a coach and GM in the league. Does every team flip these positions as often as the Flames do?
Bob Murray has been the GM of the Ducks for 10 seasons. (GM of the year 6 years post hire)
Dean Lombardi was GM of the Kings for 11 seasons. (Stanley cup 6 & 8 years post hire)
Doug Wilson has been the GM of the Sharks for 15 seasons. (Presidents trophy 6 years & Stanley Cup appearance 13 years post hire)
But the Flames are having an off year less than 4 years into Treliving's tenure so they should fire him?
Those are our Pacific division competitors. They're given time to build teams. The Flames? Not so much.
Randy Caryle coached the Ducks for 7 years before Bruce Boudreau coached them for 5 years.
Darryl Sutter coached the Kings for 6 years.
Todd Mclennan coached the Sharks for 7 years, Ron Wilson for 5 years before that.
Gulutzan's in year 2. Probably time to move on...
