I honestly don’t care if Treliving stays or goes at this point. It’s Murray Edwards who needs to accept the idea of rebuilding. Maybe he doesn’t understand the NHL, but it should be a cyclical league.
You win for a while, then you lose for a while. Trying to constantly eek your way into the playoffs by any means necessary so you can make a couple of bucks isn’t how you build a contender.
That’s the strategy that has lead to the Flames being stuck in middle for seemingly forever. Enough middling, be smart and honest. It’s time for this organization to finally commit to rebuilding the right way, go big or go home.
