Especially surprising considering how many people didn't know who Jaccob Slavin was when he received Norris votes or re-signed in Carolina. Watch enough to know the coach's systems in and out but don't know who their number one defenseman is? Seems legit.

We don't, but we can read what Hurricanes fans and media say, and they say the same thing that Flames fans have been saying about Gulutzan. Oh and there's the record as well. It's amazing and ironic how many on here can overlook the record and say that Gulutzan's and Peter's teams "look good"; after all the jokes we made about MacT's comments of the Oilers being "visually better".
As for the goaltending, the Flames goaltending isn't that great. Smith was inconsistent all year and he is old, he's more likely to breakdown or regress than get better. The kids are not ready for anything more than backup goalie.
It's not like Peters will be coming to a Calgary team with great goaltending.
