That explains going for it by trading picks, and trying to add through free agency.
If the owners were on board with the call on the core, I can't see them letting the guy go for carrying out the plan that he suggested and they signed off on.
The system isn't all that bad considering the lack of picks and recent graduations, and he certainly has a few bright spots on his resume.
This seems to possibly be the case since he's still employed.

Maybe I'm of a different mindset but I want my GM to be forward thinking and not a gambler. Treliving gambled and lost and it set the organization back years. That's cause for termination as far as I'm concerned. He's still employed because the Flames owners are probably getting tired paying for coaches and players that are no longer with the organization and it was cheaper to bring back Darryl to try and make something of Treliving's mess. Even Darryl has acknowledged he's been brought in to try and right the ship that's not operating with an elite crew.
