#Flames GM Brad Treliving on former coach Bill Peters being hired in the KHL:

“I’m a big believer in second chances for everyone. Bill made a mistake. He’s a good coach, he’s a good man. He made an error and I certainly wish him well.”
Don't know about you but I think that Khabarovsk and Yekaterinburg is about to become the Duke-Carolina of the KHL with Peters coaching Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg and Michal Jordan playing for Amur Khabarovsk. https://t.co/oU0saDLcZi
