Sutter isn't for everyone, and he will surely have a shelf life like they all do.
But I think you have to live with that; it's part of the package.
The Flames had player's coaches and a country club and a lot of erratic play for years. Sutter has seemingly turned that around.
For one I'm willing to ride out a star player taking time to adjust to a guy with a long history of winning - and that's not to hammer on Huberdeau who isn't actually complaining at all.
The guy wins. Winning is fun.
Add in the fact that I sure get the feeling that Calgary isn't the biggest destination for the top minds in coaching and you have me happy the guy was extended and not going anywhere.
If his shelf life expires I'd even consider moving the core and getting a reset on the shelf!
