[News] Flames hire Treliving as GM

[PeteMoss]

From his bio:

- managed the amateur and professional scouting staffs
- consulted on all team transactions
- responsible for all player assignments with the minor league teams
- GM of the AHL team
- co-founded the WPHL (Western Professional Hockey League) which merged with the CHL (Central Hockey League)
- president of the CHL for seven seasons
- played in the AHL, IHL and ECHL

Busy lad.

co founder of the WPHL as per 960

Just to clarify--Phoenix will receive no compensation. The NHL no longer allows teams to compensate for hiring away executives. Burke mentioned this several times when discussing the GM search.

[shogged]

managed the central hockey league for 7 years as president, before moving on to phoenix for the next 7, as per 960

Wonder if we can steal away Futa for AGM. What a solid management group that would be.

I like this set-up

President-Burke: A very experienced guy
GM-Treliving: A guy with some experience and a solid resume
Craig Conroy AGM? Someone who is only given some responsibility because you shouldn't have too many chefs in the kitchen

Kelly Kisio AGM maybe? seems like a fit there.

[Wolfman]

Glad it isn't McPhee. Burke got his guy which is good. I wonder if it took a while to negotiate with PHX on his departure? From everything said he seems like a great addition to the Flames.

All these Trevelyan posts are eatin' up my thanks.

“@RealKyper: Brad Treliving was the only guy interviewed for the GM job before excepting #Flames offer.”

[Goodlad]

So where are all the posters who claimed Burke was never going to hire a new GM?

Edit: Or is this just where they tell us Treliving is only a puppet for Burke?

Looks like he was the guy Burke wanted all along, and that Phoenix wasn't granting teams permission to talk to him until last week.

Good picks in the first round, a couple of alright later round picks. Nothing huge stands out either way in terms of trades.

They had an exception for Brad? And here I thought he just simply accepted the position!

Oh Kyper....

[Lego Man]

I love how John Shannon just said there will be no GM in Cgy for the draft.

I've lost count of the amount of times that guy has been proved to know absolutely nothing about what's going on in the NHL. Might as well be listening to your buddy at work talk about 'Ice hockey'.

Pretty brutal first round picks.
