Key things that stood out to me from Treliving interview on both fan 960 and the press conference:
1. Looking for an experienced coach
2. BT has a clear profile in his mind
3. Pushing players is still a big part of the coaches job.
4. Wants a coach that can think the new NHL game and be creative. This statement immediately followed item one.
Between the above, the Treliving connection and the hockey Canada connection of Brad Pascall, it's easy to see how Bill Peters could be an echo chamber hire.
Other candidates that I think would qualify:
1. AV
2. Sutter with the right assistant
3. TM if the oilers let him go
4. Maybe Tippet
5. Desjardin
I don't think even if they become available that the flames will chase: Ruff, Trots, Carlyle, Crawford..
