I don't know what Treliving has planned but it's not looking good for the Flames who really have no leverage anymore.

It was tough because the Flames were not the same caliber team in the offseason as they are now. My fingers are crossed that 13 and 19 truly believe that Calgary is a place they can win. The closer they get to the cup this year, the higher the likelihood they stay.
