But in the event that Treliving does need some help, we let ‘You Be The Boss’ do that and gave you an opportunity to offer their solutions to what plagued the Flames this season.

Who was the Flames MVP this season? You like Johnny Gaudreau, who got 35% of the vote — not a big shock.

Who was the team’s biggest disappointment? TJ Brodie, who took a lot of heat for his play, led with 35% of the vote. Brodie’s also the pick, at 59%, to be traded if the Flames are willing to part with one of their top-four blueliners.

Who should be Treliving’s top priority RFA signing be in the off-season? Rookie forward Mark Jankowski is the overwhelming choice, at 66%, among the faithful.

The survey saw one particular bright spot in sophomore winger Matthew Tkachuk, who is the only team member to earn more ‘Give him a raise’ votes than ‘Keep him’ or ‘Let him go’ ballots. A healthy 60% of you declared ‘Give him a raise.’ You like the kid. You really do.

Should the Flames fire head coach Glen Gulutzan? Two-thirds of you said ‘yes,’ while 21% of you will give him a short leash if he returns as bench boss for next season.

The 2017-18 campaign is seen as a disappointment on many levels.

The Flames lacked resilience when things were difficult. Their home record was deplorable. They ran into injury trouble. They struggled with secondary scoring.

But how do they fix it? A strong 44% of you want improved coaching, leadership and accountability.

These are questions Treliving will be asking — and questions you answered.
