It's not just Treliving though. Every aspect of the organization seems sub-par: player development, drafting, overall strategy - nothing seems to be working. Execs and coaches (Sigalet...) seem to get jobs for life with the Flames - no matter how poor a job they do - with the exception of the Flames coaches, who have been the fall guys for Treliving.

Not sure I agree on the drafting and development given the work they've done in the last several years. Lots of young players on the roster that they've developed as well.
Pro scouting that got them Brouwer and Neal should be looked at.
And then I guess the biggest thing is the assumption that you can build a competitive NHL team around a top line with Monahan and Gaudreau. Whose fault is that? Was it a reasonable assumption?
David Poile has had a job for life, the Flames have flown through executives since Fletcher left.
