To go back to an earlier point of mine, if he ends up replacing Gulutzan I have to think its because Treliving wants to keep the style of play more or less the same but add a little more gravel to the voice.
He isn't my 1st or 2nd choice but I'll support the decision. The Hurricanes play a quick game, less methodical. I think the players we have here will fit into Peters style of play just fine and when there are lapses he'll let them know.
One concern I do have is Peters' support staff. Steve Smith handles the defense. He can stay in Carolina.
I also appreciate the concern over his W/L record in the NHL as a head coach thus far. Yeah, its not great. But neither were the Hurricanes and yet he still had them playing meaningful hockey into the end of this season. There was motivation. Where was it here?
