Hype and Mediocrity: Brad Treliving & the Calgary Flames

Published 2024-05-20
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

  • 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
  • @codymachado
    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

    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. Itā€™ll be interesting to see what he can do in Toronto as it seems like heā€™s seen as ā€œThe Saviourā€ and Dubas is looked upon as the Devil in Leaf Land

    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.

    We need a GM video on Pierre Dorion and his tenure with the senators
  • @ZacharyDarkes
    As a flames fan I think he was easily one of the worst GM the flames have ever had.
  • @Parmen0901
    In a small market, do you think ownership had any hand in forcing Trelivingā€™s strategy to contain costs?
  • Tre could of won the cup in Calgary if just kept the core together bennet Tkachuk fox johnnyG ect omg this hurts to watch šŸ˜¢
  • @guitarmemoir
    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.
  • @GomerJackson
    Sam Bennett is literally playing in the playoffs right now??? How is a not a success again?
  • @mrfake675
    She talks the right talk. It tickles ears. His results? Shite.
  • 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.
