Hearing Treliving discuss how much he communicates with Sutter and how they are on the same page made me wonder in general. I think we all know Sutter is back next year if he wants to be and that he has a relationship with ownership. I do wonder if during the organizational evaluation that comes with the offseason will have Sutter getting a fair bit of say if he thinks Treliving can get the right players on the ice for him.
I do wonder about the prospects of a Dean Lombardi to take over? I could see Philly also offering him that role as they have had a disappointing season to say the least. Apparently his contract with them is up in the offseason and if Sutter tells Edwards that is who he thinks can build a winner here ASAP then I wouldn’t discount that move from happening.
Basically Darryl is here for another 1-2 years at minimum so he needs to have a strong relationship with the GM. Either keep the guy you have, promote a guy from within, or bring in someone with a previous track record of success with Sutter
