The change had to be made. Period. Those saying things like "careful what you wish for"... good god, what a bad take. The change had to be made. Now it is Treliving's job to find a good replacement. If he doesn't, that is on him, but it doesn't change that this was the right decision.
Gulutzan seems like a great guy and I wish him the best.
As for the potential replacements, I don't know much about Peters, and won't pretend to, but I will say this: I don't want a possession coach; I don't want a system like this last one where defense means backing up and filling lanes. I want a team that plays like Boston and Vegas. I want a team that attacks the puck carrier. I want a team that plays an up-tempo, aggressive style.
I don't know who that is, and I am sure I care. I just want a better playing style. I think that means AV, but I am open to seeing what plays out.
