It would be interesting to see how things would work out for Hamilton if Sutter was brought back to coach. In L.A., Doughty saw a big decline in his points while under Sutter's tutelage (he's magically way up there in points again). Sutter cut him way back on 5 v 5 minutes. He didn't trust him defensively in many situations. He held Doughty accountable for his defensive lapses and I'm sure it ultimately made Doughty a better, more well-rounded Dman.
Could be an interesting exercise to go through for Dougie.
