I just don't understand this perspective. Attendance hasn't been this bad for this team since the early 00s.

Fans will show up when you give them something to be excited for.
Inflation. Cost of housing. How much disposable income do you think people have today compared to 2014-16?

Also take note that the first glimpse the Flames had that they could cut short their rebuild, they did. I bet when Treliving got the job he probably thought he had 2-3 years of stockpiling picks and prospects. When the Flames unexpectedly made the playoffs and won a round, mandate changed. I bet.
