I mean sure I'd prefer Sutter and perhaps another guy or two. But there's a chance Peters is an amazing coach. I'm not sure how any of us can rule that out at this time.

I'm not in Peters' corner either but I will say that I trust Hockey Canada more than I trust Brad Treliving and Brian Burke and they like Peters too.
