I never felt that Gulutzan had the demeanor to be an NHL coach. Very happy to hear that Peters is scoring much higher in that regard.

Really agree. I was thinking about a word you used here, “passion”. GG didn’t demonstrate that much that I ever saw. Now that can be a good thing, you want emotional stability. He is not erratic and unpredictable, positive traits. But he didn’t exude passion.
Think about leaders that make you want to follow....rarely do we want to follow someone who doesn’t exude passion for whatever the topic is. And you can be emotional stable, like GG, but still have outward passion. They aren’t mutually exclusive, and it was en element that has been missing.
It appears that Peters has that, and hopefully it is one of the missing ingredients for this team.
