Also being the captain - and I am totally making assumptions here - I would think that Gio's input had a lot to do with the new coaching direction.

On top of that you have things like...

Sutter's truculent approach
Sutter's D approach
Sutter Alberta connection
Sutter's unfinished business here
The Phaneuf deal (ok I'm stretching it here haha)
Gelinas is still around (another Sutter connection)

Anyways I think it's a greater possibility than people think...
Sutter would be a great coach. I agree that he's a hardass like Hartley but smarter about it. You are mistaken a little about the Gio connection. Yeah, Sutter gave him his breakthrough contract here. But he also was the reason Gio was playing in Russia.
