I understand that not everything is the GM's fault, but is part of his job not to try and predict and evaluate players while maintaining an on ice product?

I doubt Treliving was unaware Gio is declining. Up until well past the TDL the Flames had a shot at the POs though. There's no trade at that point which is not simply giving up on the season. It's a pretty tough sell to give in to a rebuild at that point.
Or some have said he should have been traded and Brody should have been re-signed. Now likely that was actually impossible and Brody was always going, but if that had happened we'd still have one top 4 D to expose out of Brody, Tanev, Hanifin and Andersson.
