As the Calgary Flames attempt to stave off playoff elimination during an underachieving season, general manager Brad Treliving marks his seven-year anniversary at the helm of the team.
The Flames were coming off a fifth straight non-playoff season when he was hired, finishing second last in the Western Conference. Jiri Hudler led the team in scoring, Mark Giordano and T.J. Brodie patrolled the blueline, and a quartet of goalies fought for the starting job following Miikka Kiprusoff’s retirement.
Perhaps that otherwise-futile 2013-14 season’s most important moment was its final game, when a rookie named Johnny Gaudreau scored his first NHL goal in his debut.
