I hate what he's done in terms of consistently trading away mid-round picks for garbage depth, but on the draft floor, he's done excellent

Treliving seems legitimately good at both identifying player talent and handling player contracts.
His Achilles' heal is the issue with coaching.
Either Treliving needs to hire a good coach and then focus on players and contracts, the Flames need to hire a new POHO who can help Treliving make those changes, or Treliving needs to go.
Out of those options, just replacing Treliving and changing the whole leadership group would be least desirable.
