Brad Treliving spent nine years at the helm of the Calgary Flames before walking away to join the Toronto Maple Leafs. In that time, Treliving’s Flames won two rounds in the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. In this video we revisit his tenure in Calgary, analyzing his highs and lows as a general manager. #nhl #calgaryflames #torontomapleleafs

This was painful as a flames fan 😭😭😭
Pretty rare for a 9 year GM with only 2 first round wins to be able to leave a job under their own power but that just shows how low the bar has been in Calgary
We need more of those videos, they are great!
As a Flames fan, I’m ready to be hurt again
Burke is overrated. Treliving probably is too, but of course Toronto is reactionary and fickle. Toronto will never get to the cup final. And I am a fan, so it hurts saying that.
As a flames fan I think he was easily one of the worst GM the flames have ever had.
Pretty interesting to hear he only won 2 playoff rounds in 9 years. He needed to rebuild the team and the success they had after was very short lived. It’ll be interesting to see what he can do in Toronto as it seems like he’s seen as “The Saviour” and Dubas is looked upon as the Devil in Leaf Land
She talks the right talk. It tickles ears. His results? Shite.
Tre could of won the cup in Calgary if just kept the core together bennet Tkachuk fox johnnyG ect omg this hurts to watch 😢
We need a GM video on Pierre Dorion and his tenure with the senators
Sam Bennett is literally playing in the playoffs right now??? How is a not a success again?
In a small market, do you think ownership had any hand in forcing Treliving’s strategy to contain costs?
Sam Bennett his turning the heat up with the FLORIDA PANTHERS 👌💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video! Love the topic 🔥
Treliving's major problem was he couldn't accurately evaluate the team. It led to all sorts of the problems he caused.
Dealing draft picks like candy was a huge mistake for starters. But the one deal for picks I hated more than the others was the deal for Travis Hamonic. Despite Burke being burned in the Kessel deal, those two clowns didn't have the collective brain-power to to-10 protect the first rounder in that deal that ended up being Noah Dobson.
Sh!t show.
Why the hell did they take Mason McDonald over Thatcher Demko in the second round? Demko was the number one ranked goalie in that draft and for good reason.
Im from ontario Im not a flames fan but i love watching those late night games, i remember that schlemko goal so well, after that game i traded for him in my gm mode and put him in the shootout line up hahah
Treliving's biggest fault is a lack of foresight. Not setting up for the expansion draft, not seeing the writing on the wall with gaudreau or Bennett, not giving a budding superstar in Tkachuk a long term deal when he wanted one, I could go on for days. He straight up ruined the flames and bailed. Pretty excited for him to do the same to the leafs. I can't believe they hired that fucking scrub.
Treliving's biggest failings
– Free Agent or new addition Signings (Neal, Huberdeau, Brouwer)
– Penny Pinching
– Coaching Carousel
– Escaped his own mess the moment he could.
While here, I thought he was great. Looking back, these three items really REALLY set the team back. And well be feeling the pain of it for years to come.
Great video BTW!
He's perfect to keep Tor's legacy alive!
