Treliving gone would be a blow for the Flames. I haven't loved everything he has done, I was pretty critical of him early on, and he hasn't had the results that would be ideal, but he's good at his job.

How many GMs would be available that would be more capable than him?

Also, a change of GM is something that makes sense when you want to change direction of the team in the big picture, but the Flames are locked into their big picture plans right now to compete for the cup. I don't see another great GM coming in to just follow on Treliving's plans. Sutter might, but he doesn't have Treliving's skill set as a GM.

The management picture for the Flames right now is about as good as we could hope for between Treliving as GM and Sutter as coach.
