Might be more changes than he thought because of the way the team collapsed. Denies there is a character issue with the team.
Treliving doesn't talk about the coaching staff's future but says he thinks GG is a very good coach when asked about him. But Francis follows up by saying he would be surprised if GG survived this.
To me Darryl Sutter sounds exactly like the type of guy who checks all the boxes that Treliving is talking about...I'm glad he identified the identity/emotion as the main issue.

Interesting that Tre thinks he might need more changes than he thought. Wonder if before it was just a coaching change and now it might involve players ? Or was it players and now he is also thinking coaching change? Could also mean big changes player wise. Going to be a big off season for Tre. I would have to think that if he can't get the flames to playoffs next year he is gone.
