Default Flames and Treliving agree to part ways. Maloney promoted to PoHO and interim GM

Huge concern with this news if Sutter and the rest of the coaching staff are still part of this organization going forward after Tre decided to leave.

We could descend to new lows as a franchise unless there is a strong vision and plan for this team’s future.

Honestly it’s already started and I want Maloney to prove me wrong, however the next huge decision is interviewing and selecting a GM.

The on ice product this past season was difficult to watch at times as the style of hockey was the antithesis of exciting.

While people can debate certain aspects of the on ice product, the off ice issues shone through on garbage bag day.

Selecting a GM with a vision and plan going forward is a crucial step, as it’s clear some of the long time players like Backlund are not happy, which should be a clear signal for Maloney that the players need a staff that listens and puts players in their best position to succeed.

Thinking back to Phillips call up and essentially being benched seemed like the beginning of the end between Tre and Sutter.

The handling of the younger players in our organization goes hand in hand with this team’s future, hence a GM with a vision, a plan, and the support of their coaches to carry it out.
