If Treliving does get another coaching hire, I would bet on him pushing hard to get one of these two guys.

Montgomery I remember hearing about, but I believe that you are wrong about Green. I specifically remember the Flames not inquiring about Green, but just asking permission from the Canucks for Gulutzan. I did remember that Treliving interviewed a lot of candidates - a large number of them from what I remember, but Gulutzan was the only one associated with the Canucks, and the only one they asked for permission to speak with.

According to Vancouver general manager Jim Benning, the Calgary Flames asked for permission to speak with Gulutzan, the Canucks’ assistant coach. But they have yet to ask for permission to speak to Green, the successful Utica Comets head coach, as a possible replacement for the fired Bob Hartley.
