It may have been one of the other big 3 but for some reason I have DB stuck in my head as that player. If that is the case I couldn't see him coming here.

Sutter also stripped Brown of the Captaincy and he wasn’t happy about it.

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.

Ryan Leslie did a live interview on SN after the news broke in the video in this link and about 90 seconds in he mentioned that he texted Lucic for his response and Lucic said “Get ready”.
