A poor bottom-six is a testament to poor drafting and development more than anything. And that can't be laid at the feet of Treliving alone. The Flames have been poor at drafting and development for decades now.
The remarkable thing is that the organization has kept the same head scout through a succession of managerial regimes, despite the poor results of the Flames scouting. Button must be a favourite of King and ownership.
The rot in this organization goes right to the top. It would be too bad if Treliving, who I think is the best GM this team has had since Cliff Fletcher, took the hit for years and years of institutional incompetence.
