The change of core needed to happen last offseason but Sutter's magic has a way of throwing a wrench into that. I like that last season happened and we saw some success, but the bones of the team always needed a change.
In a way, Gaudreau leaving has ripped the bandaid off some inherent issues with the core that we can now address, even if it's painful short term.
In 5 years time? It could be possible that he did us a favor, depending on how management recovers from this.
Think of how much year to year hull-patching would be done if he was extended for 8?
