The impression I get about Sutter is that he is really good at turning it off and on. He knows when to push buttons and knows when to lay off. And he always separates the player from the person and doesn’t make stuff personal. I have heard stories about players running into Sutter in the off-season or after they retired and how nice he was outside of the work environment. I have no doubt that Sutter genuinely cares about people, but his job is to drive players.
