One of the bigger questions of the NHL offseason was answered Monday with the Calgary Flames announcing that they mutually agreed to part ways with general manager Brad Treliving.

The Flames were headed down this road even before the season began because Treliving was working under the final year of his contract. Those questions began to re-ignite after the Flames missed the playoffs for the second time in three years.

The Flames also announced that senior vice president of hockey operations Don Maloney will be the team's new president of hockey operations while also serving as interim GM.
