D Sutter did some great things for this franchise. He should be honoured for that. That week of insanity killed us though.
Not to de-rail this thread, but as much as i hated the Olli/ Prust trade, Sutter knew how Higgins should have evolved his game. Sutter thought it was best that he become a 3rd line gritty player that could score some goals. He told him that after the season and offered him a contract. Higgins did not see himself like that at the time, and went to Florida who promised him top 6 playing time. Now with Vancouver Higgins is a 3rd line gritty player that plays the role very well. We could really use a player like Higgins right now.
Granted just keeping Prust would have been good.
