His team made a 17-point improvement after a disastrous 2015-16 that saw the bottom fall out with them finishing fifth-worst in the NHL. The improvement coincided with him finding his head coach in the form of Glen Gulutzan last summer, one that saw him dismiss <strong>Bob Hartley<\/strong> after four seasons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are striving to create a level of continuity and stability, as all successful teams do,&#8221; said Flames President of Hockey Operations <strong>Brian Burke<\/strong> to Flames.com. &#8220;Today&#8217;s announcement is another step forward for our organization on that path. Under Brad&#8217;s leadership, we have seen progress over the past three seasons and look forward to building on that growth in the coming years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Calgary, Treliving carried experience that bounced him back and forth from the AHL to NHL in the then-Phoenix Coyotes organization. Spending nine years as the General Manager for the San Antonio Rampage from 2002-2011, he was named Assistant General Manager of the Coyotes in 2007 and held the position until he left in 2014. He spent 2011-2014 in the same position as GM for the Portland Pirates when the Coyotes moved parent teams.<\/p>\n<p>Treliving added, &#8220;To be able to continue with the group we have here, upstairs and downstairs, that&#8217;s what gives you the most satisfaction. We think we&#8217;ve got something here. Now it&#8217;s up to all of us to see that through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/543853460\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/543853460?et=w5-nexSxRIdSADwdcFceQQ&amp;tld=com&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=i-IKM-bgp5rIqgC9qoOV60GyccLUY83Cz25pQbiipsM=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With some uncertainty in the air reported in Calgary about Brad Treliving possibly leaving the Flames for another gig, ownership today\u00a0quelled those rumors by signing their General Manager to a multi-year extension.
