Even if he was fired today...tell me what difference you believe it would make when he will still have the same collection of soft and never ready to start a game players?
And if people think Darryl Sutter would take this job right now, I would beg to differ. This club is miles away from the type of team he excels with. His first time through the dome he had a big, plodding, tough to play against roster. He got another, even better, set of that type of roster in LA. It's not like the Kings were an offensive dynamo, but they sure could play D and clog up the neutral zone along with word class goaltending...that's what made them successful. Darryl is getting older and isn't going to want to wait 2 years while the team gets transformed into something he can work with. If he comes back it will be to a team ready to get over the top with his style.
IF, and its a big if IMO, their is a mid-season change in Calgary, your new coach will be Dave Tippett. Think about that. A guy who missed the playoffs 5 consecutive seasons before getting the heave ho. Obviously there were extenuating circumstances based on the club he was asked to work with, but all the same, if this is a results business, his are atrocious.
If the club goes in another directon, it will have to be in the off season when there is 15 or 20 candidates to choose from, not now where it is basically one of 4 guys.
