One thing that stands out to me is that there are rumors that both Dallas, and Ottawa also were in on Peters.
Not that it means a ton but shows that he is at least well respected and well regarded in the league and seems to be sought after as a coach. Has experience with hockey Canada. In this case at least Treliving isn't the only hockey mind that seems interested in him.
Gulutzan was different in that it seemed like we were the only ones looking at him. Wasn't really mentioned in other vacancies, wasn't ever in consideration for any international jobs with hockey canada, just felt very left field.
I do wonder if that is changing Treliving's process. I remember being really impressed with Gulutzan and what he was selling after his first couple press conferences, but it never really came to fruition. Could be why this time Treliving is going with the guy he knows in Peters, doesn't want to get "fooled" in the interview process again.
