I cannot believe that the GM did not try to get this sorted but either he is asking too much or he is going to wait to see what UFA offers he gets, either way Calgary is stuffed.

You seem to be catastrophizing the Gaudreau contract situation with zero first hand knowledge. I find it extremely hard to believe the Flames management doesn’t have a handle on what Gaudreau’s desire to stay with the team is and what his next contract is going to look like. I would imagine that the two parties started discussing this month’s ago, probably even last offseason.
Suggesting Treliving has been asleep at the wheel is a lazy take. Why would he have been? Is there a single logical reason why he wouldn’t have, at minimum, ‘get this sorted out’ as you put it? Even from a self serving point of view, what good could that have possibly done for Treliving? That would basically be like you showing up to work one day and just saying ‘yeah, that big deliverable I’m responsible for, I’m just not going to do that and I’m going to let the project implode’. I suppose if you’re intentionally trying to get fired that might make sense. You’re reputation would take a massive hit as well, so it’s kind of like career suicide. Good luck getting hired again in your profession. If an individual were to do this, regardless of their profession, they should probably seek out counselling.
Do you honestly believe this is what Treliving has done/is doing?
