I can't say if he is what this team needs, but I will say that Bill Peters has won a hell of a lot more than any of the current Flames players.

That was a novelty tournament. Oilers coaches and managers have rubbed shoulders with luminaries at international tournaments too. I don't think this specific point really says anything about Peters one way or another.
Some of the Flames players have actually been in NHL playoff games. Some have even won a round. Peters hasn't done that. People are concerned with his NHL record.
