Once the shock wears off, I think I’ll really like this hire again. As a motivator Sutter speaks for himself. I’m actually shocked Treliving got permission to do this. I have little concern at all, aside from I don’t know if Sutter can adjust to the new NHL speed game. I’m sure he can but I’m curious to see what that will look like, and what it’ll mean for the team brand of players brought in. Will we see the classic grind it out type player brought in or will Sutter be able to handle the reality of highly skilled fast players? I guess we’ll see this off-season. For now it seems like one of the best potential hires possible. Really interesting.
