If any coach has a chance of taking a low seed far in the playoffs, Sutter is arguably that guy, but even the 2012 Kings were still 13th in the league and had a prime Quick in net on that extremely rare and historic cup run, and Sutter only joined as a mid-season hire after a bad start. Sure, there's a chance Sutter repeats that magic of 2012 in taking a low seed with a losing record onto a cup win, but if they're not playing well enough to regularly beat teams and climb the standings in the second half I think they're more likely first round fodder.
