I know fans like to hang everything on Treliving now that he’s gone. But these big strategic decisions are made collectively. From the comments of Conroy and Bean, in the wake of Gaudreau leaving and Tkachuk announcing his intentions, the braintrust of the team - so Treliving, Edwards, Conroy, Bean, Maloney, Nonis - considered the rebuild route, and then decided against it.
It was a comment from when he was discussing Gaudreau walking for free and how he would have handled it differently. I definitely read into it a bit but I have a hard time believing that Kadri, Huberdeau, and Weegar would be on the Flames when combined with his statement on fair contracts for age appropriate players.
