I wouldn't be surprised if Treliving was just sick of dealing with Edwards in general, and even being able to fire Sutter might not have been enough to keep him here at this point.
(And to be clear I don't blame Edwards for meddling, if I owned a hockey team I would meddle too. Hell I'd probably just Jerry Jones it and name myself GM. But I do think that meddling does make the GM's job harder)

That's totally fair. Serious question, where does the meddling owners theories really come from with this team? I ask because I've never really heard any credible media type source (like Friedman) talk about it with the Flames, like I have with other orgs, like say Vancouver.
Doesn't mean I haven't missed it, very possible. But it just seems to me it's only fans on here that bring it up, and it seems to be a far more re-occurring topic when we have a very polarizing topic like arena funding surfacing. Are there any legs to it really? Is it just perspective? Because any owner is going to have some interest and say in what goes on. I just haven't really heard much about the Calgary ownership group being very hands on from anywhere other than CPers when they are complaining about the season.
