Futa could be the guy but hoping for Lombardi. I worry a new GM won’t make the trades necessary as they get familiar with the organization

Taking a while to get to 5000

To be fair he says he thinks there could be. Didn't sound like insider info, to me anyway.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think it will be a mistake to let Treliving go now

I think some people are blowing his comments out of proportion. He's just speculating that big changes needed to be made whether that be the GM and/or players.

I really hope it's not some old boys club dude like Lombardi.
If it's not someone like Eric Tulsky then we shouldn't even bother

So, that's why Seravalli left TSN. He's coming here.

Tree POHO and Futa GM was something that made sense to me.

But why though? last 6 seasons- 3 first round exists, 3 missed playoffs, traded first round picks, spent to the cap each, countless coaches fired... why would it be a mistake to let go of someone with that track record?

What state would the Flames have to be in currently for you to think Tre should be let go?

No thanks. Tre will just want to meddle in Futa's job, it is a bad idea. If Tre goes as GM he needs to go period.

The first GM we’ve had to put his foot down and demand to not be meddled with is going to meddle with the next GM’s work? I doubt it.

I would think he has some discussions going on for some changes, if he can't pull off a trade for a true #1 center by the draft then he has to go.

True, you are in the minority, according to the poll.
I am with the majority. The guy can only say that the failure starts with him so many times before his bosses accept it as more than a platitude

Addressing the questions from the other posters... I believe that building teams takes longer than 7 years, especially a team in the state the Flames were in when he took over in 2014. Treliving has made mistakes, but when I look at all of his moves in totality, I see more in the 'Good Move' column than the bad. For me, obviously, James Neal sucks and didn't work out at all, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who predicted what happened would happen when he was first signed that day. I bring this transaction up because I like that Treliving works fairly aggressively to address holes he perceives. And related to this, he had no issue moving Neal out when it was clear he sucks, which is a quality that many people don't have, as it amounts to admitting a mistake. This is a good and in my opinion rare quality to find in executives in all lines of work. It takes time (longer than 7 years) for drafting and culture change to make an impact, in my opinion.

I think if you’re changing things up you need to start fresh.
Leftover people will have bias. This roster needs an unbiased overhaul. There are a number of good pieces. But I’d say a third of the starters need to be upgraded. My list would be:
Ritchie
Nesterov
Simon
Domingue
Question marks beside Giordano, Ryan and Lucic due to expansion draft and free agency.
Names I’d put in the pool for trades:
Monahan
Anderson
Kylington
Be nice to insert one or two younger players from the heat or recent first rounders to add some new blood. Someone like Pelletier.

Here's the podcast: https://dforundown.libsyn.com/ep-30-...est_id=2625965
They start talking about the Flames around 22 minutes in. He doesn't really say much other than he thinks changes are coming and he thinks it's most-likely Treliving who will be gone.
His opinion doesn't appear to be based on any insider knowledge.

This seems like more speculation than even a rumor
But hope it’s true. Treliving is a terrible talent evaluator who has failed to improve the team with a ridiculously long leash as far as Hockey market GM’s are concerned. This team has zero identity and he’s the architect who spent 7 years with no blue print
