Hey I don't disagree - my point is it's not a guaranteed disaster just because of his results with a ####ty, cap floor organization. When you dig deeper into their style of play (quick, and aggressive), and his philosophies it actually doesn't seem that bad.
It is 100% a big risk from Treliving to do that but really the guy has a style he wants this team to play, and an idea of what he thinks the coach needs to be.
If he thinks Peters is that guy then it's his call.
Personally I wish they would have went all out after Boudreau two years ago and we probably aren't hiring another coach today.
