If he can get Tkachuk laser focused on what he does well then he can make him elite at the game he plays around the net front.
Gaudreau is a mystery box under this kind of leadership. He won't hit or muscle guys off him. But Sutter has gotten non physical skill players to play strong under him before too.
If Monahan cam bottle what he did in period one last night and do more of that, it would make him a hell of a player. I don't have a ton of faith in him transforming his game at this point though.
Fascinating to say the least.
You have to imagine sutter has already made some evaluations on each of those guys games and skillsets.
But yes I do think he has his Regehr/Regehr and his Kipper/Quick.

Tkachuk has both the most promise and also perhaps is where Darryl needs to do most of his work on an individual player level. I think Sutter can level him up and kill some of the bad habits that have developed. His game needs to be simplified desperately.
