Regarding Tkachuk, Ottawa signed his brother for 8 years at $8.2 mil/yr with less impressive stats. They signed Stutzle to 8 years at 8.3mil/yr with similar stats. It happens. Both of those look great now.
Treliving's results were not good over the course of 9 years. I'm surprised people are romanticizing his tenure like this.

Many Flames fans are trained to accept mediocrity and be risk averse. Treliving did some things well, and other things he didn't. The notion that a new GM could be worse is no much different than ownerships reluctance to do a rebuild.... because what if it doesn't work. Just accept being good enough, because risk is too scary.
