anyway that is true...I am not saying Brad is terrible, I have said most of what he has done is pretty average. You disagree.

As for the Leafs they are kinda stuck...you really think he is trading core players and will be allowed to do so

we can bump this when they run back basically the same team
Think it was a post from September...so just before the season.

I just find it funny that the second a player or management member leaves the Flames you do the fastest 180 known to mankind on them. This isn't the first time you've done it and it's just hilarious IMO.

Up until April 17th you were a huge Brad Treliving defender...I can look back at lots of posts over the year talking about how it was all bad geography, wasn't his fault Tkachuk/Gaudreau left (which I don't actually disagree with), etc etc. That one was just my favorite.

I actually think Treliving was average to slightly above average too...don't think he was a great GM but do think he was a good guy that was really well respected around the league.

I just don't agree with all the posts saying that the only reason he got the job is because his dad, or completely changing my tune about the guy now. He was an average to above average GM, that was well respected around the league, and now he gets a chance to try his hand with a different team in an easier market from a geography perspective to attract and maintain talent.

Maybe he makes a big move this offseason...maybe he doesn't. I don't know what his bosses are asking of him, and I don't know what the trade market is for the players on his roster.

Honest question here...where was this speculated?

Most speculation I've seen has been in regards to commitment to the job, his salary asks, and not committing to the organization in the press conference. And Shanahan pretty much said as much. honestly haven't seen one piece of speculation that he was fired because he wanted to move on from core pieces.
