I think it's the opposite. Anytime the organization was hiring a coach, and people brought up big names, several people have chimed in to say that those coaches may not be willing to come here. I don't think anyone has said Calgary is a top coaching destination. That being said there are only 32 NHL coaching jobs and good coaches are currently unemployed so they would really have to hate Canada to not consider the job. Also, it's been widely reported that Treliving didn't even contact any other candidates when he hired Peters.
