If I recall this is where dissension between Iggy and Brent started when he was tasked to "simplify" his game. Darryl Sutter is good, no doubt when the roster fits his style. Similar to Ken Hitchcock.

If they are going to play Sutter hockey for the next few years there are probably 3-4 forwards that should be moved.
Johnny
Monahan
Backlund
They won’t fit this style.
I’d think hard about tkachuk as well. Technically you would think that style would fit him perfectly. But I’ve watched the 10 or so games with the new style and their are games I never see him. You’d probably get a good player back for him as well.
