Talking about it right now like it should or will happen is moot.

Now, for arguments sake, (and this isn't specifically for you, EE) what if the Flames play to their potential for a change, finish, say 2nd in the Pacific, knock out the Oilers in the first round, and lose a close series to Vegas; does Treliving stay on?

What if he gets Gaudreau signed to a fair deal prior to the season, too?

What if Tkachuk agrees to a deal as well?

Is that enough to keep his job?

I am curious what the threshold is at this point in Treliving’s tenure.

If the Flames make the playoffs Treliving probably stays period as ownership has always set the bar low for their GM's.
