Why not? I think each managerial structure is different, and in the Flames's case both Treliving and Maloney reported to Burke—irrespective of what their individual titles suggest—and that one was not necessarily stationed over the other. In fact, the way in which each member of the hockey operations dept. was listed rather shows quite clearly where Maloney and Treliving ranked in the hierarchy:
· Brian Burke, president of hockey operations
· Brad Treliving, general manager
· Brad Pascal / Craig Conroy, assistant general managers
· Don Maloney, vice presidenthockey operations
In the wake Burke's departure it seems quite clear that Treliving assumes control of hockey operations, and I think it safe to assume that Maloney now reports to Treliving.
