Who wants that?

I think you're going to be surprised.
Tre walked into a huge mess, a bunch of bad contracts, and had a decent core to work with but no superstars. His best trade work (probably the Hanifin/Lindholm trade) was excellent. His worst signings turned out to be worse than anyone could imagine (I don't remember people predicting a total James Neal career-ending fail).
Bennett wanting out is less Treliving's fault than the coaching, and who knows what was going on in Tkachuk's mind at any given time, he may never have stayed here. Maybe Calgary has a bad reputation as a destination, I don't know. But I don't put all this on Treliving alone.
He wasn't a magical GM but he wasn't awful. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Pitt. There's not that many people qualified for the job, really (look at Calgary's current options, it's not like there's a clear bona fide obvious choice).
Time will tell.
