[News] Flames and Treliving agree to part ways. Maloney promoted to PoHO and interim GM

[slcrocket]

Holy ####. This organization is in trouble. That's not an overreaction, that's just where we are.

Sell this damn team.

This isn't Bean's expertise TBH.

He's more of a traditional business man and more of a financial acumen than a guy that should be up here at this press conference.

To me it's a coward move by Edwards to not be up there today.

Leslie really pulling for Conroy to be the next GM

The good news better be they are not coming back. Muller was a PP disaster and Huska's defence were the masters of allowing odd man scoring chances.

Well at least he confirmed our worst fears when it comes to Edwards.

He couldn't get a ticket from wherever the heck in Europe he is nowadays.

Bean defensive as #### during this presser. STINKS of the Kevin Lowe days of the Oilers.

EDIT: had the wrong guy in there

[Dion]

Bean is acting like a true politician, Always dancing around questions.

[prizefighterinferno]

Agree that Bean coming off terribly here. All the wrong vibes. Maloney competent if emotional (understandable given the situation).

Lol you have to be employed by the Flames organization.

I've never seen anybody change their tune or be able to spin things in favour of the organization as quickly as you.

Realistically what centers can they get that can replace Lindholm. Overpaying Scheifele who is a worse center than Lindholm is the only I one see.

They will need a new #1 center and a new #2 center.

Maloney isn't the one coming across as defensive. More deer in the headlights.

Do you mean Bean?

Assistant GMs not Assistant Coaches…

Really?

[Reign of Fire]

"We had an opportunity to rebuild last year." They should have taken that opportunity.

[automaton 3]

Don saying his phone is lighting up with people asking about the job.

[Royle9]

There you have it.
Could have re-built last year, took the Florida deal to re-tool and go for it.

Who knew John Bean has been with us this whole time?

[agulati]

Last minute invite to a work meeting and I’m missing this presser. Seems like it is one for the ages

LOL - owners meddle too much!

Owners let the people running the hockey team speak and run the hockey team - Hey, where are the owners, they should be here!

[GullFoss]

This comes across as a pretty honest presser by both guys.

Bean clearly out of his element, but he's speaking honestly to crossroads the team is at. Whether to rebuild or not is a really difficult question to answer and there's good arguments on both sides.
