Not sure if this has been posted yet.
Edit: Nevermind I see that it was a while ago!
I have no problem with Sutter coming back, but the notion that ownership might be pushing for it is a little scary. Wasn't Treliving getting autonomy key in his re-signing? Hopefully if Sutter does come back, it's because Treliving wants him.

I personally take it with a grain of salt - but if I am one of the owners, I wouldn't forget about a guy who came in and turned my business around. Maybe the owners are thinking that it would be prudent to go back to that well again.
With regards to Treliving's autonomy, I am not too concerned anyway. Here is what the tweet contains:

Pinder confirms source - a current Eastern Conference Coach - tells him he's heard CGY ownership has intetest in bringing Darryl Sutter back.

Key word for me is 'interest'. Not 'pushing', or 'demanding'. Just a relaxed interest. Why wouldn't an owner speak up and just say: "Hey, Sutter was a really good coach here, and he went on to win 2 cups with LA. What do you think about that Brad?"
I think it is not only fair for an owner to to show interest in the team, but rather expected. I would have a problem only if the owner demanded Sutter be hired over what Treliving feels would be a better coach (or better fit).
