Sutter just won the Jack Adams and has two Stanley cups. He knows what he’s doing. There just isn’t enough elite talent to push us forward.

The team roster may not be that strong, but Sutter is sabotaging the production of the offense by not having the appropriate players play together, and using the 4th line players waaaaay too much. Lucic should not be on the power play.
The best players should be playing with the best players. At least give the top line a chance to be a game in, game out threat. And if Mangiapane can get his head out of his ass, you might have two scoring lines. The other two lines focus on checking and not giving up goals.
With the franchise for the first time in pretty much forever, they have centre depth. They can work with that, just gotta utilize the lineup properly.
