Change for the sake of change. Consistency for the sake of consistency. Both empty arguments IMO.
I don’t pretend to know who all the qualified GM candidate are, but I don’t see it difficult to imagine an upgrade over what Treliving has been able to get done.

The Flames, the entire organization I would say, is in a much better position today than it was when Treliving took over and likely going back as far as the early 90’s. their scouting department is more robust and balanced. Their farm system is strong and they are developing NHL caliber players, 1 or 2
a year. We know longer see silly things such as ‘the Flames don’t draft Russians’. The prospect pool has very good depth albeit lacking truly elite talent (we haven’t had the good fortune to leap frog several draft spots like Dallas or Philadelphia has).
