The Calgary Flames have had a change of heart when it comes to former General Manager Brad Treliving. Last week, it was reported by Frank Seravalli that, despite telling him he won't be coming back, the Flames intended not to allow Treliving to speak with any other teams before his contract ran out on June 30th.
Today, Seravalli is reporting that Calgary's ownership have reserved that decision, and will allow Treliving to be interviewed before the contract expiration date. This puts him in a much better position for a new GM job, as some team's are already in the middle of their hiring process, and likely want to have someone in place before the draft. Seravalli seems to think the decision could have a major impact on the Toronto Maple Leafs' search for a general manager.
