I will take a crack at it.
Playfair. Good assistant to Sutter. Natural progression when Sutter decided to focus on GMing so he could spend more time signing starlike Marchment or making great trades like the one with Phaneuf.
Keenan - old buddy. A once great coach with reputation of riling the troops.
Brent - an up and comer with good family genes.
Heartley - no idea why he was hired, but he was a SC winning coach with experience. A known commodity.
GG - Treliving liked him
Bill Peters - Treliving loved him
Ward - Treliving had no heart to replace him after the not all that terrible interim tenure.
