Don't know anything about the guy, so I can't comment. I like the fact that he's a fresh face rather than a recycled GM.

I especially like the fact that he's a fresh face and not a recycled GM that also happens to be one of Burke's old buddies that he used to work with.

New Flames GM Brad Treliving
I admit I've never heard of him and therefore know little about him. Must say I was a little surprised when I heard the news today.
Heard him and Burke on the fan this afternoon. Burke was saying that they had a short window, ten days, to sign him after getting permission from the Coyotes to talk to Brad Treliving.
From what Brian Burke was saying is that Brad Treliving was highly recommended by many people and is why he signed him when he had the chance and thought another team would sign him as well.
Brad Treliving has been an assistant with the Coyotes for the past seven seasons and says he felt ready to take the next step and be a GM. Also said he was happy to come to Calgary and have Burke as a guy to work for.
Hope he keeps Craig Conroy as an assistant GM unless of course he gets hired by another team as GM.

We didn't hire Nonis!!! 
I'm shocked at the number of people on CBC and tsn that think this is a bad hire.
We've got someone fresh, that has the knowledge to get things done, and will tutor under Burke.
I really think the Flames will keep Conroy on in some capacity, they know what he means to everyone around the org (see the signing of our boston college guys)

My guess is they hire a couple to be honest. Conroy andKisioare my guesses but I don't want Kisio
I don't like it, too much like a Sutter. He's practically apart of the Sutter family.
That is HUGE! This must mean the Coyotes have had no formal discussions on who they may be looking at, but it's still massive because Treliving has likely had Coyote scouts report to him on players, now our scouts will too. This could almost be like doubling the amount of eyes on each player or seeing a great deal more then the scouts could have otherwise. If the Flames have a great 2014 draft this could very much be the #1 reason why.
Flames fans are okay with Burke as their President of Hockey Operations (i.e. in charge)? Is there something strange in Alberta's water? Very strange, imho.

You're a little slow on the draw.
He was hired into that position for the last 9 months... or did you miss that while you were drinking your own Kool-Aid?

I love the signing. Sounded a lot like the end of the year presser with Burke. He likes big guys which I agree with. Like Burke said he did everything in Phoenix and has a great draft record.
First rounders since being hired (2008): Boedker (8), OEL (6), Brandon Gormley (13), Mark Visintin (27), Connor Murphy (20), Henrik Samuelsson (27), Max Domi (13). That's every first. No busts.
Other picks of note are: Michael Stone (3rd round, '08), Lucas Lessio (2nd round, '11), Laurent Dauphin (2nd round, '13)

Funny because Burke is one of the greatest mangement persons in hockey. Thought that before he went to CGY.

He took the most screwed up franchise in sports being the Leafs who ere filled with 3rd liner being payed 6 million dollars with NMC and he gave them Bozak, Kessel, JVR, Kadri, Lupul (5/6 top 6 forwards), Phaneuf, Gunnarson, Franson, Rielly, Gardiner (5/6 defensemen) and Reimer their starter for awhile who got them to the playoffs and almost past the first round with his stellar play.
He won a cup in Anahiem and started the winning era of Vancouver. So he makes big statements, so did Feaster. I've always loved Burke even when he went on my least favorite team the Leafs

That's a pretty impressive 1st round draft record, with the scouting staff we have in place, I'm feeling pretty good about going into this draft.
On a total side note, anyone else hear Burke recall his quote about advanced stats? My point being, he knows his quotes are Gold and he totally uses whatever opportunity he can to restate them and get them more air time. He would never admit to it, but he probably deliberately does that to inspire the next TSN Top 10. I don't care at all either, Burke is awesome and he cracks me up
