Thinks Maloney feels the same as Treliving in regards to coaching.

Seravalli is dropping in credibility for me.
We've heard (from posters who apparently have solid connections) that Treliving was offered a lucrative extension with the green light to change coaches.
I've heard Seravelli on 960 say "the flames" went to ownership for approval to extending Sutter last year, then, on this podcast he says this.
I know that Treliving could have wanted to extend Sutter last year and then wanted to fire him this year, but, why didn't Seravelli mention that on 960? It also flys in the face of other reports about the offer to extend Treliving and the conditions.
Just a bit strange.
