if Sutter also gets gm dibs from ownership I would resign my fandom for a bit
but I think Sutter would refuse it at this stage in his career and with his history at the position
Sutter is a great player motivator and teacher but his grasp on what makes a successful present day nhl roster is really not great .. he is behind on that front, no matter how much he claims to be a student of the new game and analytics
size and toughness are not the factors they once were
tough guys get sent to the bin for clean hits on nhl stars .. its sad, but it's the reality we're in now
he's right on all his criticisms of the officiating according to the old ways when tough sobs ruled the game but this is the new normal
