Honestly, the thing that concerns me the most about the hiring is the possibility that Treliving simply has a model of what he believes a coach should be, that GG was as close as he could get to that model last go round and that Peters will just be more of that model. This would be consistent with Treliving's personality I think. He has a plan, knows what he wants, is sticking to it and is willing to pull the trigger and execute in making deals to realise it.

If GG was a good representative of BT's plan last go round, by sticking to it I fear we will see more years of boring hockey. I hated how the Flames played over the last two seasons. Not even primarily for the team's record as much as for how boring they became to watch and how much the team character turned into something that doesn't inspire me to cheer for them.

I don't know much about Peters, and I will hope for the Flames to become a fun, exciting, fast team with great character under him as a coach if he is indeed hired. The thing is, based on BT's previous choices and what I've heard about Peters, I'm not seeing much to make me expect this will be the case.
