This is his 4th coaching hire by my count.
1st one (Gulutzan) was a HUGE dud. A total flub
2nd one (Peters) led the team to 2nd overall in the NHL, got fired for something completely out of Treliving's control and had to be replaced mid season, so Treliving gave the interim tag to a very sharp, in house assistant
3rd hire (Ward) was another bad hire by Treliving, because although Ward had a decent record as the interim, he really dropped the ball during the Dallas series, especially at the end
Credit to Treliving, and Flames ownership for righting that wrong just 20-some games into a 2 year contract. And thank goodness Sutter decided to come out of retirement to take the job.

Maybe some are counting his extension of Hartley, which I think he didn’t really want to do, but the PO win and Adams trophy kind of forced it.
