Sorry that's dumb.
Personally, unless someone much sharper then Treliving is found he should remain the GM for now. He has been an improvement on previous regimes.

That being said, Tre did put the team in a position to fail on that lottery pick, and its a results oriented business, so chances, attempts, percentages and so on mean nothing in the long run. In the obsession over analytics we still need to keep our eye on actual results. Like it or not if that pick ends up being a a real game changer of a player, then that would be a very bad result and qualify as a real disaster for the Flames franchise.

Its important for the Flames to finish well, if they go 0-9 from here on in that could end up being a very good chance at the 1st overall pick.
