There has been that same asterisk with each of his hand selected hires
Neither guy had been successful as a head coach as a NHL head coach. Both had been head coaches, but not with any material success
So Tre has to think that something will be different with his roster plus coach X
Why would Treliving think that they could be successful with his team?
That is somewhat of a ‘smartest guy in the room’ problem, isn’t it? Kind of like the Jankowski draft? You see something that other people don’t see and are willing to stake some of your professional results on it
I don’t apologize for using that phrase, but welcome suggested alternatives

You may have a point with Gulutzan, but I don't think it stands with Peters. He was not an "off the board" hire at the time, and given his resume to that point I expect that Treliving's thoughts and feelings about him were widely held among hockey executives and observers.
