I think Sutter's a really good "win now" motivator, but it's been shown time and again that he has a pretty short shelf life. 3 years is great, then move on.
But have we seen anything clever from him this year? It's so hard to judge, but I don't love the stuff he's said in media scrums, and I don't see anything but running out the re-treads for too much ice time.... but I don't know what the choice is either. I feel like the team is built to his spec more than Treliving's at this point. Heavy handed vets. And it's a super fast league where superstar talent wins, and there's just no "coaching" around that.
