There’s a reason these coaches are long gone from the NHL. Hartley is a tool and never had the respect of the players cuz he didn’t respect players, it’s a known reality. Yes, he won a Stanley Cup with one of the most stacked teams of a generation so good for him. Never replicated anything near as good to that.
During his time here the Flames were known as the comeback kids cuz they couldn’t win any other period but the 3rd. It’s a fun stat but it also means you’re behind a lot.
Another thing, Treliving didn’t hire Hartley, Feaster did. Tre’s biggest mistake with coaches was Gulutzan, not because he’s not a good hockey mind but because he’s not a good leader, doesn’t know how to run a room.
Peters was a good hire, good at coaching hockey but unfortunately his past came back to haunt him and we got stuck with Ward, which if you all remember was brought in to fix the PP and he did just that. I kinda think Ward is like Gulutzan in the sense that he can’t run a room. I hope I’m wrong but I guess we’ll see.

My hot take. Peters not that great at coaching NHL hockey. Hurricanes improved immediately after he left. He had lost this team by the time he was replaced. He was outmatched in the playoffs vs the Avs.
And it’s not just his past. He doesn’t sound like a good person to be honest.
