I don't know if this is really pure speculation on his part just because there hasn't been news coming out, or if indeed he has had some outside sources that are in the know here. I guess we will see.
However, now the pressure really is on Treliving to make some big moves to the roster. I think when you change a coach, it is a 'big change' already, and you can just massage the roster a bit and see what the new coach does with the team, and then make your big moves the following season to the new coach's needs with whatever system he is trying to implement.
Calgary has yet again failed to make it out of the first round. You can't bring the whole gang back. There has to be some sort of change to the core group now. I am on record on being 'fine' with bringing back mostly the same team but with a new and experienced head coach to see if the core was indeed poorly constructed, or if it was the system. If Ward comes back, that question won't be addressed, but we already seem to know that Ward's system + this core = not great.
I guess we will see what happens now.
