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.
I agree and I think this is why Salim's prediction will not come to pass. Treliving has done well and there is still unfinished business. Unless his talk of the Calgary market after JG and MT left was BS, I think he will be back.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
