Sutter doesn't have to stick around for his last year if they decide to retool/rebuild.
The team is poised for a pretty sizeable tear down the way the contracts are structured. If they fail under Sutter this season maybe the plan is to sell everything that isn't nailed down?
Pending UFA's
Gaudreau
Zadarov
Gudbranson (I know lol)
Pitlick
Lewis
Richardson
Other than Gaudreau it obviously isn't high end, but playoff teams are always looking for veteran depth especially when it comes with experience winning cups.
Guys like Monahan and Lucic would only have one season left, and their value could be increased by retaining on them. And then you have pending RFA Tkachuk who could be retained on and moved in a blockbuster potentially.
Could go into the 2022 draft with 5+ picks in the first two rounds and 10+ picks throughout the entire draft.

I have heard this same #### every off season for the last 3 years. I am almost positive you made nearly the exact same post last year.
I agree with Shazam; a grade schooler (or random choice generator) probably would have consistently made better choices than Brad Treliving has over the last 7 years as GM. Low grade insult but the point remains. Abysmal performance over his tenure.
