It kind of shows how tough the job is and how everyone can make mistakes and luck comes into play.
I think the key for me is this. You think Treliving is a bad GM. I actually think he is good to above average in his role but I think his time here is definitely winding down and he is not going to be able to build a true winner here.
I think too many people gloss over the market and pressures and do not fully respect how difficult Calgary is to work. One of Sakic’s best deals was for a player the Flames had negotiated a deal but he refused to come here.
I am ready for a new GM. Either all in with Lombardi to win it all or more likely a fresh face to rebuild this team. Looks like they extended the window to have time to get a team together before a new building with the most recent delay.
Brad signed some great RFA contracts and was able to make some shrewd trades and even some solid UFA deals in his time here. He made bad trades, awful coaching hires, and signed some bad deals as well. I am ready for a new GM but I don’t think the one we have is bad. Just time to move on as he couldn’t get more than a division banner and playoff series victory in 7 years. We will see what happens this year
