Sutter had an interesting comment in his media availability yesterday where he essentially said that the team has learned how to play the way he wants them to, but the question of whether these players can generate enough offence in his style will be answered at a later date. I took this to mean that he wants personnel changes in the off-season.
I don’t know what you are expecting from a 4th liner making $700K. The other choice I suppose is a rookie, but even they make more, and you risk giving up a ton when they’re on the ice. I dislike putting rookies on the bottom line - no ice time, no offensive opportunity and poorer linemates. I like them on the third line at least.
