I think Treliving was basically saying he's not going to hire a guy out of college or the CHL who has never coached at the NHL level. That's how I took his reply.

In context of Gulutzan departure and only having a few years in the NHL, I thought he mean someone with a lot of experience. 4 years as a HC of one team is not a lot.
This led me on the AV or Sutter train. But maybe I misunderstood his comment.
