Conroy’s exhuberance means he speaks a lot of volume and some of it can come across as you state. Players like Richardson and Lewis are here not on a PTO, ripe for getting bumped off. They came here via Sutter to play.
Just wait for the first Snet game though and Francis will hop on this like white on rice and try and stir the pot by blurring fact and fiction.
Sutter wouldn’t have come here if he didn’t have have full control. This isn’t a reality feel good show where the young guy catches fire with the vet and everyone lives happily ever after. Sutter has two or three years left before he retires and isn’t going to mess around with someone else’s theories or experiments as he truly wants this city and organization to experience a Stanley Cup.

I disagree, Richardson, Pitlik and Lewis IMO were brought in as a safety net. Players that management are comfortable with rounding out our bottom six so our rookies can continue to develop until they are ready to overtake existing NHLr's. It was up to the younger players to take a job from one of these guys (and anyone else) to make the team.
This is the NHL, this should be some of the hardest teams to make in the world.
