How can you feel happy with that?
It would have been fine if we had a good team. We don’t and changes have to be made.
Considering the need, Treliving gets an F so far

You’re missing a big part of the picture. Gio is gone, but in his place we have significantly more cap space, in a year when the cap is flat, and the additional flexibility gives the Flames an advantage in making trades or in signing free agents, who will have far less leverage this year with most teams up against the cap. In fact, cap space will be one of the most valuable assets a team can have this year. If Tre can continue to show this restraint and let all the other teams with cap space blow their budgets on day 1 of free agency, there should be some bargains to be signed on day 2.
