Yeah. This truly looks like this was an ownership move rather than from Treliving initiation. There's been rumour for a while (years?) that ownership has a strong relationship with Sutter still, and one of them wanted him to return as coach during one of the previous head coaching vacancies. I'm thinking that was the one that led to Peters.
