Both are to blame but this group certainly took it to the Oilers level multi-year sucking and for no real reason.
As much crap as Sutter gets at least his moves made sense for the most part and lead to play-offs trips and good shots at success.
This group held everyone together and made short term moves when it was clear as day the team wasn't close to good enough and success wasn't going to happen.
