Sorry to burst your bubble, but your assumption is highly unlikely.
Treliving has two years left after this one on his contract, I believe. We’re coming off a season with zero gate or concession revenues. Not only that but Edwards other businesses have likely taken a pounding. They just fired a coach and replaced him with one who I’m sure has a higher salary. Why would the owners now choose to fire the GM, pay out the remainder of his contract plus the amount his replacement would cost? Is the plan to fire and hire based on pedigree and previous success, Lombardi? Or cheap out and go with a first timer like Kevin Weeks? Is it just Treliving that’s going to get gassed, or is Maloney & Conroy out as well? Who replaces them? Or do the Flames go the Sabres route and run with a one man show? That sounds good.
Treliving is here for at least this season and next.
