Fairly sure Treliving, and the Flames, will put their best offer on the table and then it is up to Gaudreau. Along with his wife and maybe some family, It is going to be Gaudreau’s decision. Not Treliving, not the Flames, not Lewis Gross. The Flames entered this situation knowing full well what the risk was, for years no less, so it would be somewhat foolish to fire Treliving in the event Gaudreau chooses to leave. I would have a hard time believing Treliving would be solely responsible, so why should he take the fall? Appearances? The Flames save some face?
I doubt it.

If BT thought there was any chance he couldn't get Gaudreau to re-sign he should have been dealt for assets regardless of how the team was doing. He should take the fall because he let his franchise player get to the point where he can leave and get nothing back. It's inexcusable.
