I think the notion that BT isn't going to be calling the shots here for the next year (at minimum) is wishful thinking for some. There has been zero suggestion or buzz that a change is even being considered.

While I agree it’s very unlikely, I can’t imagine the Flames would have negotiated away the right to make hiring decisions within their organization above Treliving.
Was it ever determined where the rumors that Treliving wanted more autonomy were coming from? The organization hasn’t always been as leaky. Think back to the Keenan hire or Feaster firing. Those were abrupt.
I agree with your premise but I also think it’s unlikely that ownership is that happy right now. And the rumored Neal buyout he wanted could not possibly have won him support.
