I'm not nearly as down about this rumour as others but I do see the risk. Not a lot different than pinning your hopes that Gulutzan would improve in his 2nd stint as head coach. You're kind of hedging your bets that a guy that hasn't made the playoffs in four years with an average/below average roster can do better with the Flames roster. Not saying he couldn't be a good coach but he doesn't really have a winning track record like a Sutter, AV, Ruff, Tippett, etc. You know what you are getting with those coaches and the odds are pretty good there would be some success. With Peters it's a lot of hope and faith. It's the kind of coach hire this organization has badly missed on in the past.
