I'm thoroughly enjoying this Sutter season so far, but on a night off I find myself pondering what the plan might be if the worst happens and Tre can't get either of the big two extended long term.
Johnny walks, Chucky only accepts his 1 year QO.
1. Hopefully Forsberg also reaches UFA, and you do everything you can to get him to sign in Calgary, including "sicking" all the Swedes on him.
2. Try to trade Chucky to either Ottawa so he can team up with his bro long term, or to the Blues. Those would be the most likely targets for obvious reasons, but if somebody else offers more that certainly works as well.
Kind of a retool on the fly I guess. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but if it does I could see Sutter making it work.
