It’s not uncommon for NHL management and coaches to be at odds over the deployment of young players. Management concern themselves with the long-term development of team assets, while coaches just care about winning the next game.
What’s concerning is when coaches get their way completely on the matter. I wasn’t especially pleased with the Sutter hire, and this just validates my concern that giving a coach who has such a short-term perspective the decisive voice in roster decisions is going to be bad for this franchise.
