Even if you buy into the notion that it's 100% a roster/goaltending/budget and not a coaching issue, what exactly has Bill Peters done in Carolina to make the Canes a team better than the sum of their parts? Has anyone here even heard his name before this information started making the rounds? Why should he be considered a part of the Calgary Flames finally rising to contender status?
My red flags go up right away when the focus of conversation is making excuses for past failures and hoping things will miraculously be different here. I got the same vibe from Gulutzan the day he was hired. Bill Peters is a huge nope for me and would stink of Treliving trying to be the smartest guy in the room once again if it did happen.
