I think this gets over played ...
The Flames weren't a dump in chase team last year, they had flow and transition.
This is one of three things in my mind ...
1) Lack of chemistry (needs time)
2) Tough schedule / PDO
3) They're just not as talented (lost play drivers)
And honestly it's probably all three.
But I don't think Sutter is coaching offensively stagnant hockey as a plan. Why would he? He talked about the team not playing fast enough when he arrived, he fixed it, now they're slow again.
