Yes, I would agree with that, but if there is nothing on the farm, what choice does he have? I am curious to see what happens with Nystrom this season, as a case in point... nice player, but no reason to pay him more than $600K - I am curious to see if Sutter lets him walk.
There are two (?) possible explanations - either our farm system is barren, or Sutter does not trust young players and is overly wedded to "experience".
