To that end I would vote for Mark Messier. He's smart, he'd be a motivator, he knows how to win and he's new and fresh. And it would piss off Oiler fans. All good things in my book.

I like when people make broad generalized statements that make 0 sense. While I'm fine with anyone who'd rather see someone other than Sutter, the retread comment has 0 validity.
Sutter coming to the Flames would be the exact same experience as if he was hired by any other team. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure Gio, Brodie and Backlund are the only players left from the Sutter era and I don't the he coached any of them (can't remember if Gio got any games under Sutter as a coach), which is what is relevant.
New Management, new players, Sutter's as much of a retread here as he would be in any of the other franchises in the league, including any expansion teams.
