He engineered a Stanley Cup with the Kings and beat the lowlife diving Canucks in the process. All is forgiven in my book.

Yep. The Flames will be forced into a full on rebuild eventually, this dithering around is only delaying the inevitable.

I tend to agree. D. Sutter is simply too smart a hockey guy to go off the rails like he did. I really believe he was being pressured from upstairs to the point where he went against his better judgement. That doesn't absolve Darryl of all responsibility though.
