It’s crystal clear that the players on this team don’t give a flying puck about winning and don’t really mind losing either. The issue is in the dressing room not the GM’s office.
To all of those who will say “this GM put this team together” I have 2 questions: do you think Treliving expected this talented group to have zero heart or drive when he put them together? And let’s say you get to replace the GM, who’s the next dream GM out there that could turn this team around?
I agree the coach is no good, he has ‘assistant’ written all over them and it’s rare when those types shed their coat and become fearless leaders. I think this coach should be placed back as an assistant handling the PP and they should bring a big voice into the room to put these players in place and get them going again. Problem is it’ll have to be a big voice who’s willing to come here for minimum $$$ cuz Flames ownership doesn’t spend big on coaches.
Instead of bashing our heads against a wall in this chat, here’s an idea: work the players so hard that the weak ones either step up or get flushed out. The entire league is already plugged up with no cap space so forget about asking for a trade there’s none to be had so just give the players the option of working twice as hard or taking turns as healthy scratches.
The Flames have a very solvable problem, a sh*tty attitude. The easiest way to fix that is to sweat it out, it’ll feel like punishment but they’ll realize the attitude is very easy to drop.

I was looking for another post to respond to, but Calgary '89 nails it here.
Most of the criticism's directed at Treliving seem to be brought forward by a loud group of rabble rousers who don't really take any context into consideration.
