1. Systems are only a minor part of why people are talking. Mostly in talking about how Huberdeau fits with this team.
2. Building relationships being a focus well that seems a bit propogandaish. Doesn’t sound like Tkachuk was very sold on the relationship despite being wildly successful last year. Also just human nature that when things are going good you can accept things you wouldn’t when things are going badly.
3. We knew from LA that even with cups the team shut him out. We know he had some limit to his shelf life here. We are only getting glimpses of the locker room here but it doesn’t sound rosy atm. This leads people to wonder if the team is tuning Sutter out. This however is one of those things that won’t be known til after this all blows up or unless someone leaks something. So yeah lots of speculation as Enoch says.
