Because that's the crux of issue with this team stalling.

To be fair a lot of people outside of Calgary had questions about both, Monahan and Gauderau. Especially after the first couple playoff series vs the Ducks.
They were always flawed but somehow beat the odds on the scoresheet. Kept the fans here hoping there was some magic there.
As for firing Treliving. I think he should be let go, he built this mess. But at the same time we don't know the moves he didn't make because of other factors, ones outside of his control. So we can't really tell for sure if he owns this mess completely or if it's a "Calgary" thing that worked against him.
But then again, it's about building a winning team and he failed that. The individual moves were hit and miss, as they are for all GMs. He did fail to deliver a top line RW and a goalie. The lineup has always been out of balance. Always lacked the right shot on the PP. He didn't address these glaring needs. He finally got Markstrom, but that's like 5 years too late.
