Given it's Peters first season a .500 start wouldn't be a surprise but it would be a disappointment if they were still flirting with a mediocre record by December. Regardless even if the Flames miss the playoffs next season you would have to think nobody would be getting fired but if that was to happen I imagine Treliving's seat will be scorching hot and he wouldn't survive a 3rd straight season out of the playoffs.

Not sure what the last 7-9 seasons have to do with next season's group of players where nobody is still here from 7-9 years ago, so I don't the past achievements or lack thereof, means anything with respect to how the team will do or what may happen if the team doesn't come out guns blazing.
