For me, he goes. The system is a terrible state. Zero high end prospects expected to step in and replace or supplement the top end talent. A whole bunch of middling talent in development, at best. The future has a massive gap in it after pushing all in last season and getting owned. I don't see good management of assets here, I see spaghetti tossed at a wall with hopes of something stickling. Yes, he has done some good things, but he has done as many bad things that have put the team in a bad position.
Don't know, and don't care. You don't keep managers based on the fear of not being able to replace them, you keep them based on their performance and the status of the portfolio they manage. The portfolio Treliving manages is a ####show. Can't hire a coach to save his life. Can't manage the coach he has. Can't get on the same page as the coaches he's brought in. Has left the minor league system is much worse shape than he inherited and has burned through picks for middling talent, some that rarely played. For all these reasons he should be shown the door and the team move a different direction. Frankly, a full house cleaning is due. Everyone should be handed a pink slip and a full organizational rebuild should take place. Edwards has done with with other businesses, he should do it with the Flames.

Thoroughly debunked by Juri and others on a number of occasions. The organization was in far worse shape when Treliving arrived. The fact you can’t acknowledge this discredits the rest of what you have to say.
I think it’s likely Treliving leaves and I also think it’s his call at the end of the day.
