I am not impressed with the last 3 years which is a huge chunk of Brad’s time here.

- Relies on free agency to change the team
- wasted years of the core with bad coach after bad coach
- pathetic coaches were huge contributing factors for the highest pick in franchise history not working out. Player is traded when value is depressed for a 2nd and mediocre prospect. Bennett currently has 22pts in 18 games as a Panther
- Hamonic deal was an utter disaster that has had ripple effects for years that are finally clearing
- best playoff performance came in year 2 of the rebuild

The biggest concerns I currently have are the potential futures of Gaudreau and Tkachuk. Do the Flames build around 2 wingers? Do they lose both for nothing while they are trying to win?

I see very little reason to have confidence in Treliving anymore. I personally would rather hear the Flames are not interested in a player than constantly being referred to as a team that is very much in on a player to only find out we were not close. This core has won 3 Stanley Cup playoff games since 2015.

For a guy who says the team needed significant changes after the season and all that happened was losing Gio for nothing and giving Coleman and Gudbransen his money while spending a pick and space on popcorn eater Zadorov.

I feel like I was a patient fan. I was ready to give Treliving this summer to make the changes to this core and he failed. The team is off to a great start so let’s see how they do but if this team doesn’t get past the first 2 rounds I think it is time to fire him.
