He didn’t coach Columbus to within even a sniff of the playoffs for 2+ years, then surprisingly took the Panthers to the playoffs although they were upset. Now he’s coaching an expansion team that is a legit Stanley Cup contender. Let’s hope Bill Peters has a similar progression. It’ll be very interesting to see who will be hired for each assistant position.

Just like players, there is such thing as good and bad fits for coaches as well. Carolina sure sounds like it's been a mess of an organization so maybe it was just a bad fit (and I've read exactly that from any 'Canes fans).
Who knows, I'm not convinced but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
