Some of the words I’ve heard from Sutter’s mouth so far is “pace” and “check.” So basically guys that can get in quickly on the forecheck and be hard on pucks. From what I can remember, Darryl seemed to like the Dwight Kings, Kyle Cliffords and Jordan Nolans of the world. Super basic, super nonsense hockey.

I think this is a gross oversimplification of what Sutter envisions for success. No doubt, he pays a tonne of lip-service to the merits of these types of players, but neither he nor Treliving are under any delusion about what it takes to win: highly skilled, smart and effective centremen , mobile defensemen, and a top goalie.
