Is a Treliving contract soon to be announced?
With the signing of Stone today and the rumours that Treliving will be a buyer at the deadline, is it safe to assume he will be resigned? I can't see a team letting their current GM make any trades that involve draft picks if they plan on replacing him. Thoughts?

Stone hasn't been signed has he? That would really screw things up for the expansion draft.

Treliving is going to do whatever he can to make the playoffs this year. His job literally depends on it. As for the team letting their current GM make trades that involve draft picks when he doesn't have a contract. If you're implying that Treliving will trade the future of this club for some short term rentals then that's just not going to happen. The trade for Stone today is a trade with the future in mind.
Probably best to resign Stone after the expansion draft, that is if he shows well over the final stretch here.

The Stone trade was a sign the Flames will be sellers, as this gives them room to move out Gio and Brodie at the deadline.

Trading picks for rentals usually means you are a seller

This post is the clearest indication yet that Russian trolls are using the MSM to replace peoples' brains with smouldering poodle feces.

Maybe Treliving doesn't get fired. Maybe Maloney becomes the GM and Treliving stays on as an assistant GM.

Has a GM ever accepted a demotion? I highly doubt this would happen. It's widely known that the Flames are going to wait until completion of the season to assess Treliving. If the team crashes and burns down the stretch who knows what the owners will do?

No doubt. Hopefully trading Gio and Brodie allow us to recover that 3rd and conditional 5th.

They won't learn anything new about the GM in the last 20 games that they haven't already learned in the first 200 or so games he has been GM.

I dunno, do you think ownership wants a lame duck GM ahead of the trade deadline in a tight playoff race? Doesn't seem like they would as he'd likely sit on his hands or do risky trades.

If they have already made up their mind then we have to assume he's getting fired because there really is no good reason to have him working in a lame duck situation if they already know they are keeping him.

According to Friedman the Flames owners are fine with this. I expect after they will go over the progress of his three years from beginning to end and decide if they feel he should be allowed to continue on. I believe they would be fine with him making trades to help secure a playoff spot seeing that's what owners seem to care about the most. On the outside it certainly looks like his return is contingent on them making the playoffs.

I finally figured out what Trump was talking about.
Leksand got blasted by Växjö by a final score of 6 - 0. That's what was happening in Sweden. I saw it on SHL.se.
