Treliving did a brilliant job in the first half of his tenure re-stocking the cupboards and giving the team respectability. For example the Glencross and Baertschi trades for futures while the team was in a playoff spot were skilled asset management moves unheard of in Flames history.
It is the more recent years of failing to get the team over the hump with the prospect pool and draft picks being depleted that is open to criticism.
