Obviously Frank is tight with GMs of the other teams and he’s not with Conroy. That’s how these insiders survive, it’s through their connections with GMs, agents, players.
The Oilers have always been masters of buttering up the media. I’m sure they have a media slush fund in their operating budget. Treliving is also great at the political game which is why the media regards him as a great GM despite running the Flames into the ground.
Flames owners have never seemed to be into these kind of politics. Edwards seems to only have a relationship with Francis but even Francis isn’t always shining the Flames shoe.
