I fully expected to see Monahan and Gaudreau struggle under Sutter, and there it is - although some of that must be linked to time spent with Brett Ritchie, but it doesn’t fully excuse their futility.

I never thought Tkachuk was a Sutteresque player. He has grit, and hits. But he also doesn’t skate particularly hard, he tries cute plays instead of straight ahead ones and he doesn’t play at pace.
Mangiapane, Dube, Lucic, Lindholm to an extent - those are Sutter types. Downstream, Ryan, Ritchie, Nordstrom are Sutter types.
