He's not a 24 year-old that you build around for the future. He's a 29 year-old that you need to deliver now and expect diminishing returns from as time goes on.

Yeah, like scoring wasn't an issue last season. The only thing that changed since then are some core player changes, so I lean towards the issue being more player related than system. I guess it can be both as Sutter teams tend to take a while to get going and there were enough big changes that it could be considered a reset.
Many talented players have had career offensive outputs under Sutter though, so I don't think his systems are the detriment to scoring that many people say they are.
