Brad represented the Flames well. He sold our city when others said it wasn’t a good place to play. He always aimed high and usually erred on the side of trying to make the team better. He was as ambitious of a Flames GM that I can remember. I wish things ended on a happier note.
Thank you Brad for everything that you did here. I wish you and your family the best. Good luck.

Treliving remains the only actual hockey person I've ever spoken with. My very confident friend introduced our group to him while he was sitting on the concourse at the World Juniors in Finland. I meant to say it at the time but thank you for drafting Kylington. He remains the most fun player on the team. Hopefully he is back sometime. Wish some of the UFA signings had gone better but I think it's only downwards after Treliving.

I've never met him but there were a lot of accounts of the nice things he's done for people on twitter today and how he seemed to be a genuinely good person.
No matter how you feel about the on-ice product he was in charge of you can't dispute the organization lost a good person that represented the organization with class today.
All the best in your future endeavors Brad.

I liked the fact that he was a people person first and cared deeply about the individual. Very progressive and hardworking on top of it all. True character guy and big loss for not only the team but the city.
I echo a lot of others in thinking that he worked very hard and represented an organization that needed leadership really well.
I have to think Gaudreau leaving like he did and Tkachuck following him out of town really stung him. I can see why he might be wore down and think he could use a change.
Wish him the best and hope it's an Eastern team that he has any future success with. I think he's a quality person.

I was actually ready for a change in direction but no arguments that he's good person and did his best to act with integrity while managing the team. Wish him well.
