Yes Darryl has a shelf life, like all coaches, but this team only has a short window now anyways. It's a perfect match.
Before you blow this team up, try a good veteran coach.

Acquiring those players and coaching them are two different things. I'm not advocating the argument Darryl doesn't like skill, I think that's bogus but I don't think his style is a good match for how this team is built and not just because of Gaudreau. We are seeing it now with Ward trying to play a dump and chase/heavy forecheck game. What's Sutter going to do differently?
I'm all for a veteran coach I just don't think Sutter makes sense.
