Because it is not either one or the other of these things. Just because Gulutzan failed it does not immediately follow that Peters will also. It is entirely possible that Peters could be the perfect mix of analytical and technical background with the ability to effectively motivate and inspire. I simply do not know from the outset.

Peters does not check either of those boxes, and if he comes in and inevitably fails we will still be left scratching our heads wondering if the players are to blame.

I suspect—and hope to God—there are more boxes for Treliving to check than simply whether the coach has won games and coached in the playoffs. Peters is not my preference, butI suspect that if he is a leading candidate it has something to do with his impressive international record, and his experience with Hockey Canada.

We might not know who the best answer is but it sure as hell seems pretty clear it's not Peters.

It sure does, but that is why you and I are not making this decision.
