I would not be surprised if he is the one moved this year.

Hah.
The team was 11-12-2 before Sutter.
The team is 11-12-1 after Sutter.
It's not about the runway.

Just not enough natural finishers and that’s on management. I’ve been bellyaching about this team not having enough skilled finishers for years and what does Treliving do? He signs a defenseman and a goalie because he wanted goaltending to be a strength. Well, goaltending was not a strength this season, but the same old can’t score Flames once again couldn’t score. Hell, we score less goals than the Ottawa freaking Senators. The rebuilding Ottawa freaking Senators! who by the way kicked our damn ass this year.

This. The roster is not good enough.
Treliving abandoned the rebuild at the first sight of success and has shown a clear inability to improve the team through trades and signings. We've seen enough, he needs to go.
