If goaltending is the major factor in a flames ouster in round 1 or 2, I would show Treliving the door.
Boggles my mind how the organization went through deadline day and did basically nothing to improve or insulate the team from their only major weakness.

Holy ####, that's a bad idea. You don't evaluate management on one aspect of the team. You evaluate an entire body of work and future trends. Clearly Treliving is doing a great job except for two areas: goaltending, and unrestricted free agency.
If you're ready to fire the best GM we've seen since Cliff Fletcher over not getting a good enough goalie, then I don't know what to tell you. The rest of the roster is a powerhouse deep group of players. Not only that, we seem to be set very, very well for the future of the roster, both cap-wise and young talent-wise.
Goalies are voodoo. I don't blame Treliving for failing to strike gold in a position that is very hard to predict, but even so, he found and signed Rittich who seemingly came out of nowhere. Does he not get credit for that at least?
I don't disagree with the rest of your post, but the bolded just makes absolutely no sense to me.
