Player development is never linear and never finished. I don't think Sutter risks Markstrom's development by not letting him see the series through.

100%. This is all experience for the players he continually says has little and need it.
Problem is, this should have been in last years playoffs, culminating in better execution this year when the roster is at peak. Sutter should have been hired earlier last year.
Now we're chasing it. Can we keep this roster and possibly even improve on it with new Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Kylington deals?
