Calgary Flames, GM Brad Treliving mutually part ways

The Calgary Flames and general manager Brad Treliving agreed to part ways after he held that job for nearly a decade.

The team announced the move Monday as mutual, along with assistant Don Maloney’s promotion to president of hockey operations and interim GM. 

A search will begin immediately for a full-time replacement for Treliving.

The Flames missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. They qualified for the postseason five times during Treliving’s nine-year tenure in Calgary.

“It’s a difficult day when you must part ways with a quality colleague and friend,” Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation president and CEO John Bean said. “We are grateful of Brad’s contributions over the past nine years and wish him every success in his future, both personally and professionally."

While Treliving is out, Darryl Sutter is likely going to remain the coach in Calgary. That according to reports was something that the Flames and Treliving didn't agree on.
