It's hard to think things are going well for the Calgary Flames when THAT many high performing/quality individuals walk away from the organization.
Treliving walking away just makes me think things are in a bad spot, and that (pessimistically) the organization isn't self-aware enough to begin to correct them.

I just wonder what those exit interviews brought up.
I don't doubt it that the players asked Brad if Sutter was getting canned and he probably told them no.
He probably took that back to Edwards and made a recommendation to fire him and this what we get today Sutter winning out because of his friendship with ownership.
I don't if that's what happened but I am just taking a guess, the players being blunt about not committing to Calgary and a lot of sullen faces probably knowing they are stuck with this guy.
