Glad for the team to move on from it. When Treliving is eventually not the GM in future (I'm not arguing he needs to go now, but he will eventually go), the last connections to this will be gone from the organization and the Flames should look just fine out of all this.

Glad that the team can move on. Curious who the next permanent head coach will be and excited that maybe the team can turn things around after this. I'm actually more optimistic about the team after this incident than I was before.

I simply cant wrap my head around this thought process.

How, 10 years after the fact, was Brad Treliving supposed to know what Bill Peters said to a hockey player in Illinois one morning after practice? How is this in ANY way attached to BT other than hiring a guy who he knew only as a hockey coach?

I really don't know what people expect...like should BT have contacted every single player that Bill Peters ever coached or every single person he ever worked with and ask them "did you ever hear BP utter racist words or see him kicking a player in the back"?

I mean I just dont get it.
