What you are showing me are outcomes, not coaching styles. You can get the result of high Corsi %, outshoot opponents but not get wins in a billiion different fashions.
But fair enough, I won't pretend to know if their "systems" are the same or not. They may very well play the same system (although based on your response I gather you don't know either). If they do, hopefully at the very least the PP system is different. We do know one area they are very different is as you said, communication style. GG was described as a players coach, Peters, being described much more in the D.Sutter mold, so system aside, that's a huge difference right off the bat, not sure why you are underselling how big of a change that is.
And looking at fan boards is a rediculous place to get info. Fans complain when their team isn't winning, don't complain when they are. All that going to HF to look shows us is what we already know, Carolina didn't win much, it doesn't tell us jack about the coaching style.
