There is no question that Sutter is asking them to play a north south game - Huberdeau has talked about it. We can see it.
The top line had freedom to play east-west last year. These guys don't. IT's pretty clear to see.

They didn't have freedom inside their own zone. They didn't have freedom in turning pucks over in the grey areas.
Sutter tossed Gaudreau under the bus for mistakes in his 500th game or whatever it was. Turning pucks over.
Once across the blueline they have freedom.
I don't think that has changed at all.
