And that’s not a chose Sutter over them thing in my mind. That’s just a clear indication they won’t do what it takes to win thing. This group failed time and time again in the absence of hard nose coaches who know how to win. If the presence of one makes any of them walk, I don’t think we want them.

This core had quit on just about every coach they have had, hard nose or not. Initial success followed up by disappointment. Hartley, GG, Peters, Ward all had this happen. Now pretty much everyone is gone from the Hartley era so maybe this trend starts to reverse. NHL coaches do seem to have extremely short shelf lives, but even shorter here.
