I'd rather Peters and Treliving stay put.
On Peters, he managed to get this team to second overall last year and deserves a chance to grow with the team. We can say he was outcoached in the playoffs last year, but the play of the team this year suggests there's more to it.
On Treliving, I think he's been good. There is a point where this team has to accumulate picks and develop the farm into a strong resource. The absence of a Stone deal last year had a lot to do with that vision, imo. Other issue with replacing Treliving is who do you bring in? Is he so bad that you risk bringing in someone worse?
The players on this roster have to go through this so that we can see who will sink and who will swim. Only then will we solidify an identity and a character to this team. Arguably, Treliving's biggest mistakes have come from trying to import that identity (Brouwer, Neal, Lucic). Change the coach *and* GM now and we just postpone that process... and we might be no happier about the outcome.
