A bet others would have made too, but ultimately the wrong bet and accountability is needed. He seems to be the fist person to throw that word out there, it goes for him too.
He did make some good moves to add supporting parts and I generally like most of what he has done.
You can argue those players have let him down more than he has let the organization down, but it is what it is.
His bet on the top players of this team hasn't worked and he shouldn't be the guy to make the next big bet.

His top line is flawed, not enough skill, not enough size, or speed. What type of team are we at this point? Not sure Treliving had a good idea of what he was building to go out and and got the types of players t o match the blueprint.. My guess is due to lack of experience or a plan he acquired players that seemed a good fit, or matched his check list.
Burke wanted players with size and truculence. The problem with the Flames is we have a little of everything and our top and second line is not that hard to play against.
