Brad Treliving needs to go

[mrdonkey]

Thank God ownership stepped in and hired a real coach. If they hadn't, Brad's "vision" would amount to this underwhelming roster being coached by Geoff Ward.

Think about that. If the guy really had his way there would be almost no redeeming quality about this team at all.

The confirmation bias is strong with this one.

Does that actually count as "mid-season"? While I realise it took place while NHL games were still being played, the season had pretty well played out by the time Gorton was fired. I could see the Flames making a change after the TD.

And even then I recall everyone being shocked that the Rangers canned him.

Treliving, regardless or opinion of him is here for the season.

We are now fast forwarding to the TDL and BT survival through next season

Does this thread get a replacement with the start of a new season? Will it be like the Oilers thread?

[Toonage]

Its just so rare of late, NHL wide, to see a GM replaced during the season that I'm pretty confident he'll stay put. Never say never but looks like history is on his side.

Meanwhile poor Mike Futa just sits and waits, maybe texts Darryl every now and then

There is a reason why Mike Futa was never seriously considered for a GM job despite people clamoring for him

Considering the Flames just came off a season where they undoubtedly took a significant loss, I doubt very much they fire the GM, who has two years left on his deal, and replace him with….?

Treliving will get this year.

You didn't look very hard. Our previous permanent GM was fired before Christmas. The guy before was forced out before New Year's.

Replace him with?? Also not a difficult question. Two former NHL GM's on the payroll currently, not to mention a guy who has interviewed for other GM positions. So interim replacement not hard to find.

I don't know what Flames will do but history shows mid season canning of GM is clearly a possibility.

Nobody in the org should be promoted to GM. The entire front office should go.

No thanks.

[Strange Brew]

Appreciate the editorials on who should be hired, the question was whether Treliving "could" be fired mid season. And whether someone in the organization could be considered as interim replacements. This ownership group hired Jay Feaster.

Oh ownership is definitely just bumping someone internal to the GM spot. They haven't shown the propensity to engage in an actual search.

[Joborule]

Seems at this point with training camp right around the corner, it's yet another off season of Treliving not being able to make the big changes to the core that's necessary. How much longer is he gonna have slack on his leash until ownership finally realizes he's not the man for the job? We hear so much about him being in this deal, or that deal, that doesn't pan out, but he isn't in that position for would've been deals. He just doesn't make the moves that helps move this franchise forward with it's roster.

I think Treliving gets to the playoffs and if the Flames are in, he is safe. If they are not, he is gone and Sutter takes over as interim-GM for the rest of the season. Or the assistants take over for a couple of months until a replacement is found.

As for who it would be? Who knows. Not to many people thought of Treliving before he was hired. I am sure they will find some other rando somewhere.

How can any long term Flames fan not see it as an absolute nightmare if Sutter was anywhere near the GM position again? We have seen that movie, it is very bad!

If Treliving goes, bring in someone to facilitate a rebuild. I shudder thinking who would be worse, Sutter or Feaster.

It's already a problem that he's coach as it handcuffs management into not doing what's required with this core. They're not going to start to rebuild with Sutter here.

It would be interim, after the trade deadline and before the draft. They really wouldn't need anyone at all. I could see it mainly for the reason to allow him to call players up and down while playing out the season.

It had a great beginning.

Then it’s like the film caught fire and exploded.

I thought he got fired over the fallout from the game where panarin got jumped and they didn’t back up the response.

I thought davidson got turfed too.
