Your whole screed is so rank with absolute BS that it's hardly worth responding to, but I have time on my hands and don't want any gullible soul to think you're doing more than spin obvious lies.

Wrong. Jim Treliving isn't a billionaire, and certainly wasn't one in 1969 when Brad was born. At that time, in fact, he was a 28-year-old man who had just bought his first pizza franchise.

2. Dick around through his 20s trying to make the NHL and never being more than a bad ECHL defensemen.

Wrong. As CASe333 points out, he made it as far as the AHL, and played pro hockey for six years altogether.

3. Commissioner of a semi-pro hockey league that a bunch of his dad's rich friends agree to blow money forming teams in.
|
Wrong. He was, in fact, the co-founder of the league, and it was not owned by ‘a bunch of his dad’s rich friends’.

4. Run that into the ground in 5 years and help the few remaining not completely bankrupt teams join another failing semi-pro league that dies within a decade
|
Wrong. Treliving built the WPHL up from nothing to 14 teams before it merged with the Central Hockey League. The CHL was under one corporate ownership and simply bought out the WPHL, taking over 10 of its teams in the process. The merged league (which Treliving had nothing to do with managing) then lasted for 13 more seasons before merging with the ECHL.

5. Get a job as an assistant GM in the NHL with absolutely no qualifications other than the owner being another billionaire friend of his fathers.

I haven't been able to find any connection between Larry Ellman and Jim Treliving, except that Treliving was a member of a group that at one point tried to buy the Phoenix Coyotes. Are you honestly trying to say that all rich men know one another and routinely hire each other's kids?

6. Do that job for 10 years making the playoffs 3 times and getting out of the first round once.
|
Gee, the fact that the team went through multiple bankruptcies and several sets of owners couldn't possibly have had anything to do with it, could it?

7. Jump from there to GM of the Flames where he needs a more experienced guy above him, and his former boss below him to help guide him.
|
It was the ‘more experienced guy above him’ who chose to hire him. As for people to ‘help guide him’, I suppose all other GMs are Superman and don't need any staff or assistants?
