[Sidney Crosby's Hat]

I think Treliving has done a good job. I voted Coates because he had a tough road to negotiate and did a lot of good things which helped to build a foundation for the team to succeed in the early-to-mid 2000s. Acquiring Iginla and Regehr (both in trades where he had a leverage disadvantage) is enough to edge him ahead of Brad.

For those saying Treliving hasn't had the results, well he has. In five seasons, he's gotten the team to the playoffs three times. Basically a coin toss away from four out of six depending on the play-in round this year (I think they would have made it in normal circumstances). On top of that, the team had the best record last year in the Western Conference and second overall in the NHL which is a pretty outstanding result. And the team has a good core.

He also won a playoff round, which only two other Flames GMs can say they've accomplished.
