I am not convinced that this is true. It looks more likely to me that Treliving's expenditures over the course of his tenure have accumulated in an effort to deliver ownership what they wanted—a contending team now. Will a different GM be able to convince the Flames owners to embark on a full-scale long-term rebuild? I am sceptical.
