Life is a journey, not just a career.Extension offer came from ownership at the start of the season. Why wouldn’t Treliving take that? At least then you still get paid. There is no guarantee he gets hired this summer.

Not to mention being personally wealthy and heir to an 81 year old near billionaire's fortune with only 1 other Sibling. I would choose my path as well.Life is a journey, not just a career.
And here comes his Director of Scouting….I could actually see Ol Johnny Baconator interviewing in Pittsburgh.
He traded his best player for a player that got half his points from his previous year, and lost his second best player for zilch. Signed a 32 year old, almost over the hill vet long term because he looked at his previous years stats. Signed a 29 year old D to a eight year deal to save face. His best C didn't produce like previous because he lost his wingers. Yup, it's the coaches fault alright.He signed a goalie who was 2nd in Vezina last season? What should he have done when Gaudreau and Tkachuk informed him they were leaving? I think he did a really good job except for the coach. The coach showed all year he wasn't getting the most out of players.
So you think he should have kept Tkachuk and watch him walk for nothing this summer? You think the Coach played no role in so many players underachieving? And those other 2 leaving? The best Players hate the Coach and the talk says expect more to leave unless he's gone. The GM left because he hated the Coach and did not want to work with him.He traded his best player for a player that got half his points from his previous year, and lost his second best player for zilch.

Yup., Caufield said 3 times in the article a deal will get done and he's not worried about it.Caufield isn't going anywhere. This is just the start of negotiations.
Dubois is an RFA. I can't see the Habs putting together a trade piece with Winnipeg that would involve Dubois. They can get him in a year.Perhaps Caufield/Dubois the centerpieces of a trade between the Canadiens and Jets?
The GM hired the coach. He made his bed, or should I say mess.So you think he should have kept Tkachuk and watch him walk for nothing this summer?

Don Maloney's first move as Flames GM is to can Darryl Sutter.
"These are not the Flames you're working for....anymore...Daryl...."
My greatest contribution to Forum 40.
Then why did Treliving walk away?Don Maloney's first move as Flames GM is to can Darryl Sutter.
I think it was the Flames letting him walk away or get canned. Different optics but same result.Then why did Treliving walk away?
They offered him an extension but would not allow the Coach firing. Since that time its has become abundantly clear the Coach could not continue.I think it was the Flames letting him walk away or get canned. Different optics but same result.
I thought I read he lost a power struggle to Sutter? I guess not if Maloney gets to can him. Bizarre.I think it was the Flames letting him walk away or get canned. Different optics but same result.
Donny offered him an extension and Treliving declined. Sooooooo there's that.
Shades of Tippett being made HC and VP of hockey ops over Chayka.I thought I read he lost a power struggle to Sutter? I guess not if Maloney gets to can him. Bizarre.
Look at this.
Not completely accurately. He had an extension offer during season and it was still available well before until he left. The Owner had all intentions of keeping Sutter until pretty much everyone said they hated his guts and would not want to play for or work with him any more. Why the Owner didn't see this before Treliving left is beyond me.Treliving was offered the extension at training camp. Not a month ago. I assume he was fired (not extended) based on subsequent performance. Sutter was also fired based on performance.
