If an "elite" GM said he wanted to be part of the Flames, id give them 10 years right away. When it's someone with 0 experience or hasn't even been a part of a winning organization then maybe you go short term.
7 years is a long time. There is no progress either direction and nothing to show for it. This team has no elite prospects and not even a lot of really good prospects. They don't have playoff experience to build on. They aren't even a bottom feeder team. They have 0 identity. They're just a disappointment.
That's what Treliving has built, a disappointing team.
