It's a good thing I never did anything of the sort.

It's fair to say that Treliving identified Peters as a good candidate with the first search and used that belief for his second hire - but three years later, the entire market would have changed. So making no effort whatsoever to consider options is a black mark on his record. It felt lazy at the time, and Treliving is very fortunate that it worked last year. I don't see him getting the long term extension he got without that.

I don't think this is an accurate depiction of the timeline either. I don't believe Peters was ever interviewed in Treliving's coaching search. Treliving came to know Peters in their time shared together at the 2016 IIHF World Championships. It was there that he identified him as the kind of coach he wanted for his team. The window of opportunity presented itself two years later, and he hired Peters as soon as he became available.
