And when you screwed up the decision last time, your subsequent decision is going to be scrutinized by your boss, no? And if your boss declines to approve your move, you can make a new choice.
So ownership doesn’t have to meddle, maybe Brad is free to make a choice. As long as he can get it approved
I know what you are saying but the league 14 years ago, and then in LA , were different. What was common? Sutter’s ability to get more out of the roster in different situations.
Change is constant. Succeeding in a changing environment can be seen as a desirable trait, not a drawback

Yeah those are all fair points and again- I would have no issue with Sutter being named the coach if it's Treliving's choice, it's just the meddling ownership that doesn't seem right to me. Where do you draw the line with that sort of thing?
I don't think comparing a relationship between an owner and GM in professional sports to a typical worker-boss relationship is fair. My boss is an expert in the same field that I work in.
Ownership in this case are not experts in professional hockey.
