You can argue that he won with the Kings, but he came in with a very talented team already and everyone bought in for 3 years before the wheels came off. Flames are not big enough to play Sutter style hockey and the team will not buy into his dump, grind, chase style. If you get Sutter for the Flames, you might as well trade most of the players and rebuild with big players who are willing to play playoff hockey 82 games every year. Not gonna happen.
