I don't think it's the results that impact that though, more how Treliving thinks the game should be played.
From what Treliving has said in the past I think he wants them to play as a five man unit, he wants them to keep possession of the puck, he wants them to play with speed, and he wants them to play with some "grit".
I think GG actually met the first two criteria but where he failed was getting them to play a faster game (offensively), and to bear down with some grit in the defensive zone.
Personally I think he looks at Peters and sees a guy who has some similar beliefs to Gulutzan (whom my guess is Treliving was as down on as many on here) but whom he thinks will get the team to play with speed, and has a bit more edge that he wants his team to bring.
Or maybe they just get along since neither of them really seem to like Eddie Lack after dealing with him. Who knows.
