Bill Peters sounded at ease late Friday afternoon, his decision reached and the announcement made by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Peters resigned as the Canes’ head coach, opting out of the final year of his contract. It was not a career move made hurriedly, he said, nor one made under duress.
“It’s something I had to think about, for sure,” Peters said in an interview. “Game 82 hits and you’re used to going a million miles an hour and you’re going, going, going and all of a sudden you have no games, no practices.
“It takes a while to decompress, and look back and try and give it a little bit of time and look back with clear vision.
