I would like to think that ownership has a longer view of the franchise than fans do, and is willing to give the GM the time and resources he needs to accomplish it. I am of the opinion that most NHL GMs are replaced prematurely, and that while team building can be achieved in five or six years it can also take a lot longer.

I think the Flames owners will give Treliving a long leash. The thing Tre has going for him is pedigree. The owners are probably all buddies or are familiar with his dad from the business world and they probably think the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Treliving also represents the organization well, doesn’t get himself into much trouble and when he does, like the Peters incident, handles it well.
I think as long as Treliving makes the playoffs regularly, his job is probably safe.
