He for sure was happy to see Sutter gone and I doubt he wants to be reunited.

Brown is a gritty guy and you’d think he’d be a Sutter guy. But he also strikes me as strong willed and if he and Sutter disagreed on things I’m betting Sutter isn’t keen on that. I imagine Sutter wanted him in a role he didn’t agree with, especially as far as playing time was concerned, and it didn’t go over well.
I think Phaneuf probably wasn’t willing to listen to coaching either and that’s why Sutter got rid of him. So on the Flames who is that? Tkachuk strikes me as a guy who could get into a battle of wills with a coach. Bennett already has, but he’s way outmatched here. The rest seem coachable to me,
I’m really interested in Lucic’s view. He is the only guy to have been coached by Sutter, aside from Gio for 7 games.
