Not necessarily. There are truly endless possibilities for what happened and we are all just guessing. I would be very surprised if Treliving admitted he didn't talk to anybody at all during the process.
Maybe interviews went poorly, maybe Gallant and Laviolette indicated they wanted to wait to hear on the Caps job. Maybe they said no to Calgary all together.
It seems unusually tight lipped. Maybe they are trying to bring somebody in and move Ward back down to associate? Maybe they are trying to find an experienced head coach willing to take an associate role and keep Ward?
At this point though if they just announce Ward and the same assistants returning I will be curious if something fell through.
