The only Sutter types that come to Calgary these days are/were Sutter. He reportedly turned them down the first time.
At the point in time Peters got hired in Calgary...he hadn't done anything of note in the NHL, that's why I note it. And I literally said "credit to
Peters for winning the conference", not sure where the discredit is coming from.

If you want to base it on results, Bob Hartley won a round in the playoffs with an inferior team, and a Jack Adams ...yet most people around here would say he's a bad coach, I presume you would say the same.

My whole point is...Treliving hired a coach without a winning track record again after Gulutzan, and he shouldn't have. And he kept doing the same thing until he finally hired Sutter (which may not have even been his decision). His coaching hires were overwhelmingly bad for a team that should have been on the rise and trying to put together a contender.
