As a longtime Flames fan I’m actually glad we’ve had Treliving in place all these years.
Big picture, he took a team with crappy depth, an empty prospect cupboard because of brutal drafting and a history of mediocre results and he’s been able to fix all of it minus the mediocrity part. It feels like a curse at this point.
He completely whiffed on the Brouwer and Neal signings and hiring Glen Gulutzan as a HC was big mistake too. Those signings brought us the current cap trouble the Flames are in so that’s all on him. I would prefer a different coach than Ward but it seems there’s more to that decision than we all know.
Firing Tre and bringing in a new GM will only shake up the coaching staff. The real problem here are a group of players that are considered the best on the team.
