Calgary is lucky to make the playoff every other year at best right now. And when they do make the playoffs it’s an early exit most of the time. Would I like for things to be different? Yes. Do I anticipate things changing dramatically? No. If you believe in Treliving, that’s great. I’m not a fan from what I have seen.

You didn't say linear, but I didn't say that you did.
You did say "incremental progression", which I think has occurred and which I say isn't going to be linear. And the bulk of your post talks about things like "most of the time" - over a four year term, the first two of which were building from a "start from scratch" perspective. Would you say Cheveldayoff is a bad GM because the Jets haven't made the POs "most of the time" and the one time they did they made an "early exit"?
Coaching decisions? There's been two - an extension of Hartley, and his replacement. FA signings have been a mixed bag, but again a really small sample size and you don't seem to give any credit for good ones.
I will say this, they made the POs twice under him. That's more than in the five years before he got in, under Sutter and Feaster.
