I am not advocating for him at all. I certainly prefer someone else as well but only because i think the fit would be terrific for a guy like Trotz.

The problem is as others have said. You would be replacing a guy who had no success in the NHL over four years with another guy who has had no success in the NHL over four years. And doing so after stating experience is an important criteria.
If you go with Peters when everyone is saying you need a Vigneault, Trotz or Sutter, you are definitely bucking conventional thought, and that is very much reminiscent of that "smartest guy in the room" attitude I mentioned.
And if you are Treliving, you had better be right.
