In 1986 and 1989 the Flames beat two fairly average teams (Blues and Blackhawks) in the semi-finals. Those teams never really amounted to much but at least they won more playoff series than we have in 15 years.
Treliving either needs to make some serious improvement to this team or go all in to acquire some draft and/or prospect capital. If he does neither, I will really question his ability to do the job.

I agree 100%. This is a show me league. The Flames are in a great position to upgrade their roster and do some damage in a division that has 5 decent teams but no elite teams. Granted they will have to make some adjustments and find some consistency. If the wheels fall off in the next 2 weeks, then fine, sell and reload, but I would bet everything I have that the Flames management is expecting the team to perform and be a force going forward, and is looking at ways to augment the roster to improve their chances.
As much as it is easy to find flaws in the makeup of the roster, there is a lot of talent there. This season has been characterized by execution issues. That can be fixed.
