I don’t know why some fans find it so hard to accept that the maximum amount they can possibly know will always be less than the minimum amount a GM can know. Doesn’t mean the GM doesn’t make bad decisions, but when you only have access to a fraction of the information, you should expect not to understand some things.

Why is Peters not a magic can of beans to everyone including the GM ?
The expectation must be that given a NHL roster that he can improve their play get them to the playoffs (and presumably do better than that).
Has he ever won a playoff game? No.
Has he ever made the playoffs? No.
Can he? Who knows.
There is no proof that he can do it. Only extrapolation, hand waving and hope.
If it walks like magic beans, and quacks like magic beans, it is magic beans, is it not?
