Until I see otherwise, I doubt Pelletier is going to be behind the Dallas bench or making tactical decisions.
That said, it could turn out either way. Tommy Gorman is in the HHOF for his work as a coach and GM, and he never played hockey at all. His background was in lacrosse.

Has an assistant/associate coach ever been hired in the NHL and not worked behind the bench for games? Genuine question.
