Just wishful thinking I'm sure.
I did get better vibes from Chucky's interview than Johnny's. JG never said anything along the lines of "I'd love to work out a good deal for both sides", only that "Calgary has a special place in his heart and we'll see what happens."  |
It was more like a 2.5 year deal. And you don't normally like to have a coach's deal actually expire. It's not as big of an issue with older coaches, but you still don't want to create any kind of situation where a player is just 'waiting out' their coach.
For Sutter...he could always quit/retire early if it just wasn't working out and there was no reason for hope in the 3rd year.
