That is pretty much my recollection as well. I thought it was reported by someone that Edwards offered an extension to Sutter and Treliving at the same, Sutter accepted his and Treliving didn't which caught Edwards off guard.
At that point, the Flames should have just canned Treliving and started the search for a new GM. A GM with one foot out the door isn't one you want in charge of trading or trying to retain players.
It is weird, if true, that Edwards offered the extension directly to the coach. Could have been a reason why Treliving decided not to stay. Although I personally suspect he was already planning to move on.
