I think we have seen the peak of the Flames under the management of Treliving. At this point further success will only come from a new management direction.

If Treliving walks the plank for this season, then so be it. But I think he at the very least learned a big lesson this season. After last years debacle, I was hoping the Flames would start to build a team like Vegas, a lot of hard workers with speed who can put a lot of back pressure on opposing forwards and render them useless.
But alas, we didn’t and sadly, we ended up facing Colorado who has many similarities to Vegas. A lot of no name speedsters who probably collectively earn less than James Neal, yet made a big difference in this series. If Treliving starts to build his team with faster players with more oomph, then I would keep Treliving around. He’s a smart hard working GM, I just think he needs the right direction which I feel like he might have learned after this series.
