The three complaints I think you can have with Sutter were
1) His late round drafting from 2004-2009.
2) Reliance on aging FA's
3) The Phaneuf trade
Dion didn't really give Darryl a choice, and the combination of the loss of Phaneuf and the trade return cut the legs off from this organization.
Outside of the last year of Darryl's GM tenure, I can't think of a single trade (Jokinen excluded) that wasn't a benefit for the organization or a contract that was an overpayment.
