Positives:
He's shown a capability to get a lot out of a little
He can run a pretty structured system
He's a pretty direct, straight shooter
Very good possession system/coach
When he's given young players a lot of rope, they've done well by and large
Negatives:
Line juggling (to be fair, it's probably no more than other coaches)
Having questionable favorites (again, every coach and team has these guys)
Possibly in game adjustments
Challenges
When he hasn't put young players in the right position, they haven't done as well (in fairness, we don't know if those players are good yet, so it may not be all on him)
His system seems to lead to more dangerous chances against
Hard to say if he can elevate a team to the next level
Goalie decisions
At the end of the day, I think he has a lot of positives as a coach even though I'm ready to move on. I think he has a chance to do well with a better team, and might even be able to do good things if he continues with this team as we continue to evolve and improve. As much as we complain about talent, many of us, and many in the hockey media, expected us to take the next step this year, and it's hard to say how much of not taking that next step was Peters not being to elevate them there versus not having enough talent.
