Sure he could.
If he had quit then he's no longer under any contract. The Flames are no longer obligated to pay him and he's free to pursue his career.
Thing is...if you quit, you dont continue to get paid. He didnt quit, he was 'relieved of his duties' so the Flames are still paying him, ergo he is still their employee he just doesnt have any duties.
People think this looks bad on the Flames, but the fact of the matter is that Treliving could quit at any moment. The Flames stop paying him and he is essentially a Free Agent.
He's taking a 'Paid Vacation' right now.
Yes, the Flames are preventing him from exploring other work for the moment while they're paying him. Because while 'mutual' is the term I'm guessing the employment switch was actually more acrimonious.
