I'm more than willing to give Sutter some time to see what he can get out of this group but I think there needs to be major lineup changes this summer. Many people believe a core shakeup was needed after the Colorado embarrassment. He could have done it then. I don't think Treliving is the guy to do it now.

This is what is comes down to.
He made a bet that his core of Johnny, Mony, Gio were the guys to build around.
A bet others would have made too, but ultimately the wrong bet and accountability is needed. He seems to be the fist person to throw that word out there, it goes for him too.
He did make some good moves to add supporting parts and I generally like most of what he has done.
You can argue those players have let him down more than he has let the organization down, but it is what it is.
His bet on the top players of this team hasn't worked and he shouldn't be the guy to make the next big bet.
