To be frank, none of us is in any position to be making an informed decision here, so it is unsurprising that we don't see what a GM may see.
I don't really have a strong opinion about whether or not he would be a good choice to coach the Flames, but I do think it is interesting that Peters is tagged so often by Hockey Canada: he won at Ivan Hlinka in 2008, he won at the 2016 IIHF Championships, and has been selected to coach there again this year. I did not realize that he was an Asst. Coach of the Team Canada 2016 World Cup entry along with Trotz, Quenneville, and Julien.
