They have 2 young junior stud D men on the last pairing in Fleury/McKeown.
They had a good young player in Elias Lindholm that has not developed well under Peters not to mention how bad he neutered Eric Staal. Better yet, why would you even take the chance with this guy when you have proven vet options?? Give me the reasoning why all the sudden this guy is the better choice FDW?

I'm not arguing this guy is the better choice.
I'm arguing you can't possibly have the information required to be as strongly against this possible hire as your posts make you out to be.
When it comes to evaluating coaches that coach teams we barely see we're all completely uninformed on the topic. When you're uninformed on a topic you shouldn't be talking with the kind of certainty and absolutes you have used.
That's my point.
I get why people would be skeptical or even discouraged. But to be raging mad? I don't see how we have enough information to be that convicted about the subject. We're all completely uninformed about Peters. No one here is a Bill Peters expert. We have a lot of information about AV, Sutter and Gulutzan having seen them up close for multiple seasons. Bill Peters? He's a relative unknown for all of us. So I don't see how anyone can be so convinced he's the right or wrong choice. All we can do is trust the GM makes what he thinks is the best decision and hopes it works out. I understand why people want AV or Sutter or Trotz or whoever. I don't understand how anyone can be raging mad about the possibility of Peters being hired. He could be one of the best choices available. We just don't have enough information to possibly know ourselves. Hopefully Treliving does have a lot of information.
