He stayed with the club for nine seasons and during his nine-year tenure, the Flames made it to the playoffs five times. The Flames also clinched the Pacific Division title twice under Treliving's direction.His contract was set to expire at the end of the 2022-23 season, but the two sides mutually agreed to part ways in April this year.One of the primary reasons the Calgary Flames let Treliving go was the team's disappointing season, which saw them miss out on the playoffs by a narrow margin. The Flames finished the season with a record of 38-27-17.Treliving also made significant moves last offseason, including the departure of star players such as Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau and the addition of players such as Jonathan Huberdeau, Nazem Kadri, and Mackenzie Weegar.With a busy offseason, the Calgary Flames were expected to finish the season strong but they ultimately failed. Treliving under his direction brought in Huberdeau and Kadri and landed them lucrative long-term contracts.Jonathan Huberdeau agreed to an eight-year, $84 million contract, while Nazem Kadri agreed to a seven-year, $49 million deal. Given their lucrative contract deals, both players fell short of expectations and finished their first season with the Flames with disappointing results.After the Flames' season ended, Brad Treliving became a target for those lucrative deals, while Matthew Tkachuk finished the season as the league's fifth-leading goalscorer with 108 points.
