Looks like a vague statement made to create a story for a non story at this point.
Frank is shameful looking for hits on his website that is probably on its deathbed.

No, we don't know. I don't think Seravalli knows either because we all know he wouldn't keep something like that to himself.
I think the implication he is making is that other teams just aren't asking because the Flames have preemptively said no. I don't believe for a second that if another team thought that Treliving was their guy, that they wouldn't ask for permission when the worst they can say is no. As if another team would be afraid of rejection, or wasting the time it takes to make a phone call or send an email. That's just dumb.
It might be wise to let Treliving interview for jobs, then ask for compensation if they actually want him to start work. I don't know what mechanisms are in place to actually stop someone in Treliving's position from silently working with another team though, and then officially joining on July 1st. I know there are probably legal and ethical issues, but how would you actually stop it or catch someone doing it?
