I don't agree. Every coach is going to get fired so there will one day be a count down to the next coach the Flames hire regardless of who he is and the Peters countdown will not start next season on day one like it will with Gulutzan. Peters is currently employed so one team wants him and apparently two other teams have inquired so that means at least three NHL teams have interest in Peters coaching their team. The Flames were the only team since Dallas to have interest in Gulutzan and this is likely his last head coaching gig. Obviously teams see Peters in a different light and maybe it's just a matter of him coaching a team with a better roster? The Flames aren't going to get AV or Trotz, Sutter is not coming back, and Tippett may not be a fit due to happenings in Phoenix so what other coaching candidates do you think are clearly better than Peters? Almost any coach (outside of Eakins) will be an upgrade on Gulutzan including Peters.
