The good news I feel is that this season is we will find out soon enough the direction of this team. If Sutter can push them to be a hard playing team that learns to commit to playing the right way every night then great.
We have been clamouring for a half arsed decent coach for this core for years and now they have one of the best.
If they still wilt under pressure and in the playoffs then Treliving will be gonezo and we can watch the rebuild.
This offseason has felt like purgatory with the lack of a major trade, but I'm really hoping this team has it in them and just needed a push to learn to play the right way and that Darryl will bring that. It looked like they bought in at the end of last season when goaltending cratered them a bit, so I'm honestly excited to see that continue this year hopefully. If not, sell sell sell.
