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.

What an absolutely bad take. Treliving has crippled the development system with his trading of top picks. There is a reason why we have nothing to support our current roster from the minors, because Treliving didn't care about the organizational depth and only cared about trying to win now. He shortcut the rebuild and we are paying for it right now.
