[shutout]

If you are going to blame Treliving for the state of the franchise than you have to assign some of the blame to both Conroy and Pascal.

They are the two main assistants to the GM and would have the most say and influence on any decisions.

This is not old time sports. The GM might be making the final say but he is not making decisions in a vacuum without other peoples opinions. The decisions the Flames have made in the last half dozen years are group decisions.

If you don't like the decisions and the direction of the team than the Flames should not be making either Pascal or Conroy the GM. They should go outside for the new person and let them assemble a new staff.
