People here were talking about this long ago when he was still coaching, but there is selective listening here and others who think that absolutely no one can know anything that goes on behind the scenes...and then people who may have those tidbits stop bothering about posting those things publicly.
He was miserable as a coach on the bench and in the room and didn't care. He had the rumors of him getting courted by Montreal over blown by Lavoie so that the GM here at the time (and godfather to his child) could look like he had a win to his bosses by bringing in a coach that no one had wanted for years and hasn't wanted since (much like the GM at the time).
Him winning the Jack Adams set the team back a year because Treliving couldn't fire him.
