I have been done with Treliving for quite a while and got called out on it all the time. However, enough is enough!
He has no clue how to build a proper team and his schtick of being the "smartest" guy in the room has led to where we currently stand with the Calgary Flames.
Bad Coach
Bad Players
Bad GM
It's time for a change.

At this point, you honestly might be right. My biggest issue over Treliving's tenure has been his coach hires. Ultimately... that axe can't keep falling only on the coaches.

I’m a fan of Tre but I must admit it looks like his time is coming to an end. He needed to shake up the core and hire a good coach in offseason and did neither. Not quite sure what he was thinking giving this core group of players and coach another season?

Whoever made the decision to keep Ward as the head guy needs to go
If it was Treliving, goodbye
If it was ownership forcing limited cheap options, step the #### back and let the GM do his job
Yeah, good point. There has always been rumblings of these owners sticking their noses in the GM's business. Just give the guy a budget and let him do his job.

Yup, worst possible year for him to have to throw a Hail Mary. But I think that is what it has come down to. Next move has gotta be a home run.
The only thing I think you can pin on him is his bad coaching hires. He continually hires unproven coaches at points where there is so much talent out there.
Roster wise for me the team is good enough to win.
Sure we haven't had 15 top ten picks like the welfare cases in edmonton to build a roster but other than plugging in Nordstrom and replacing forbert with nesterov team is ok for me with a better coach. My take anyway

I won't sit here and pretend I know who the issue is, but as I've said, if it's not sorted out soon I won't be renewing my season tickets. I can't support this uninteresting bland boring brand of hockey
Yeah, I’m into it. 7 years, 0 success. When does the desire for stability turn into “oh crap, we had a good idea in trying to find stability, but we picked the wrong guy”
I think the two obvious ones would be Boudreau or gallant. Read a bunch of twitter crap about Sutter. Which I think would be a trainwreck with him trying to coach millenials even if it wasn't way out in left field
Decent trades. Some good signings, some horrid. But his coaching decisions. Absolutely atrocious.
After an in-depth coaching search we hire? Glen Gulutzan.
We fire him and get Bill Peters, who came in with so much baggage. Should have done due diligence there.
Then? Get a freaking gimme. Get Ward? WTAF Tre.
I'm done sticking up for him. Change needs to be made and the guy making the changes always just misses out on something big lately. Too much talk, not enough action. He has a different idea on what makes a good NHL coach and it hasn't worked for this team.
I want stability in the GM position but I'm ready for change. I just hope that it isn't ownership that has been handcuffing him on some of his latest missed opportunities.
The Wizard just needs more time. He’s only seven years into creating his style of team which isn’t nearly enough time.
It was a really tough job to take on. All he inherited was Mark Giordano, Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, TJ Brodie, and Mikael Backlund. Even the best GMs would struggle with being handed that type of foundation on a silver platter.
The hallmark of good teams is stability at the GM position. If you have a bad GM you should keep him for another several years because he might become good. And then if he doesn’t become good, you should give him another few years because he might just get lucky. Only then should you make a change.
I Bradlieve in the Wizard.

Inability to land a top 6 natural RW is one thing, but his coaching hires have been downright unforgivable -- especially when you consider the options that were (and still are) available.

Brad Treliving needs to go
