It's kind of funny but the Treliving situation kind of mirrors the Gaudreau situation. Contracts left to expire and talks expected to happen after the season. Maybe he loves his job and the Flames ownership loves him and this is all just a formality. However if the Flames ownership has told him they will get back to him at the end of the season then why wouldn't he want to take a look at what's available. Why would he take Murray Edwards 3 year extension at likely a lower than average GM salary if the Leafs are willing to give him 5 years and make him one of the highest paid GM's in the league? It's definitely going to be an interesting scenario that could play out several ways.
