Everything points to Treliving's ego. You don't make the same mistake over and over again unless you are incredibly stupid or arrogant. Treliving isn't stupid. He just has to be the smartest guy in the room which is why he won't even talk to an experienced guy. Seriously, Trelving hasn't even reached out to the experienced guys that have been available. They all say that the Calgary Flames have not reached out to them. That is a guy not wanting to bring in someone that has the gravitas who could challenge him or question the job he was doing. There is no way in hell you continue to reach into the minor leagues when you have proven NHL coaches available, but Treliving has done it for seven multiple hires. You tell me what the issue could be here. And it is not like these coaches do not recognize that this is a game of musical chairs and when a seat is open you jump on it. Suggesting they will roll the dice until "next year" for a coaching gig is ridiculous.
