This is false. The Flames were interviewing candidates for several weeks, and with the way that hire happened there is reason to believe that Gulutzan was not Treliving's first choice.

This is true.

Sutter was the only guy - so I guess your hypothesis could be true.

This is probably true. Treliving and Sutter have both spoken about being in conversation for long before he was hired, and about the timing needing to be right.

On the other hand that’s a terrible way to run a team - sacrifice an unknown amount of the season to an inexperienced coach that you plan to fire as soon as your target becomes available. I can’t believe ownership would sign up to that plan

I would be interested to hear about what other alternatives you think would have worked out better in that situation. Had the Flames made an outside hire in Summer 2020, that coach would still be with the team, and Sutter would not be. This seems to me like a worse outcome.
