Sutter hired in LA in December 2011:
15-14-4: Record prior to Sutter
11-8-8 - Slightly better the first 27 games than prior to him taking over.
14-5-3 - Last 22 Games of the regular season on fire
16–4-0 - Stay hot in the playoffs and win a cup
Sutter hired in Calgary in December 2002
10-18-8: Record prior to Sutter taking over.
8-12-6 - Slightly better first 26 games, but still not great.
11-6-3 - Ended the season on fire 11-6-3, rode that into the 03-04 season (42-30-10)
So big problem here is we only had 30 games left because Treliving didn’t make this change when he should have in the offseason.
Pretty much we need to go 12-8 over his first 20 games this time, and then hope one of the D.Sutter hot streaks sees us go 7-3 to end the season to have a shot at the playoffs. Plus just win the rest against Montreal.

I’m not sure if two examples is enough to show a trend.
