Pretty risky for Tre to make a hire while justifying lack of success

This is going to be risky no matter how you look at it.
Treliving hired a coach that he fired two years later, that's on him because he hired the coach and built the roster. They didn't mesh in the end regardless of the reason.
So now he has to hire a new guy and he has to get it right, I think we can all agree on that.
He has to be sure no matter what view you have on the parameters.
A) Hire a proven winner, and then move him into a different roster with different players and hope that winning record continues.
B) Hire a guy that has a challenged win/loss record that he thinks is a fit with the current roster.
Either way there's risk.
And with that risk I'd want to know why ...
Peters has lost with great underlying numbers.
Vigneault has won (until this year) with terrible underlying numbers.
If bad goaltending in Carolina and King Henrik in New York are the differences between the two you'd best not hire Vigneault and hope that Mike Smith is the answer next year.
