As far as coaching and Bill Peters go
Treliving has worked with Peters before
Has the opportunity to talk with players who've been coached by Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with coaches who worked with Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with other managers about Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with Peters himself
Has a video coach at his disposal who he can assign to break down video of Peters' teams
Has a stats guru at his disposal who he can assign to do statistical breakdowns of Peters' teams
You have none of that information.
So no, fans don't have anywhere near the same amount of information about a coach and its frickin preposterous to suggest you do. Assinine take. Give your head a shake

Way to go off the deep end here. He had all that when he hired Gulutzan and signed Brouwer and traded for Hamonic....and on and on.
Noone is suggesting that we know more. We are suggesting that the hockey world has made similarly bad calls on guys like Gulutzan, Gilbert or Eakins to name a few.
GMs hire people they know, not people who are the best.
