On the trade front I feel like he's stopped burning picks (eg Hamonic/Hamilton) in favour of hockey trades (Lindholm deal).
I think he works hard and is learning. I'd be disappointed if he does turn out to be a wizard somewhere else after the Flames invested 7 years into his development.
Especially if Ward was an ownership decision to pick the cheapest option. In that case firing Treliving doesn't solve the problem at all.

I don't disagree, and I think wherever he goes next he'd do really well.
My only complaint now is coaching. If that's on him then time has ran out. But I'm still not convinced that's totally on him since bargain bin garbage coaches is something that's been an issue here long before Treliving's time
