He's been around long enough with franchise that we've seen what he's capable of. Time for someone new to set forth the vision of the team.

You're assuming Treliving would have been allowed to trade Gaudreau had he wanted to. We know Flames ownership is heavily involved in decision making, and trading any team's superstar likely always needs to be approved by their ownership group.
I think they would have insisted on keeping Johnny and trying to re-sign him as opposed to trading him away to recoup assets.
