I think Treliving has been an okay GM, like most GMs he's had his good and his bad moves.

My hesitation for firing him is honestly that the ownership group doesn't really have a good track record of hiring GMs. Treliving is probably the second or third best GM in Flames history...that's really saying something.

I'd worry they'd fire Treliving only to go out and hire a guy like a Dale Tallon or something, which would be a disaster.

He's made mistakes, but all young GMs do. And really I think he's actually tried to be honest with himself, has taken accountability for his mistakes, and has tried to learn from those mistakes. Which is more than I can say for most of the "old guard" GMs who seem stubborn and unwilling to admit to an error.

So personally I'd just stick with Treliving.
