I recall near the end of the season, Treliving was spotted at a practice just causally chatting at the sidelines with those guys, which apparently was unusual the way the media reported it. It makes me wonder what those conversations were. Did they know Treliving was also not re-signing? Did that affect their choice to leave?
I am not saying I know one way or another, but I think it is very possible.

I just can't see it.
The guy was an honest, hard working GM. There is little doubt in that. Can't see him looking for an exit. Seems like he and Sutter got to a me or him point and the Flames waffled on it until he chose to leave.
How I see it anyway.
