What is interesting to consider is the story that came out right before Peters was hired. The owners were rumoured to want Darryl Sutter back.
I can't imagine the owners this time around are going to be sitting back and allowing Treliving to hire another no-name guy. I do think Treliving has the autonomy to hire who he wants, but I do think that the owners are going to be suggesting Darryl again, or at least suggesting a more veteran coach with a good track record.
Treliving has bought too much into the Babcockian Church with his back-to-back hirings of Gulutzan and Peters. Who else from that realm is available (I mean, outside of Babcock himself which no team is going to touch for a very long time, if at all).
