Sutter's track record speaks for itself in terms of his team's ability to produce offense and last year is the outlier due to the top line.

So you see a team that is just brimming with impact game breaking offence that Sutter is putting the binders on?
If 8 forwards have 55%+ xGF% it's not one line. It's one line that can finish, but the top three lines were all out playing the opposition on a regular basis.
