Of course Treliving would, these are guys he drafted and developed he would want nothing more than for them to succeed at the NHL level.

Problem is that Sutter in his older years has really started to lean into size and veterans being the only way to win.

He wasnt like that in San Jose or in 03-04 in Calgary. His two cup winning teams in LA were young too.

In 03-04 Regehr, Leopold, Saprykin, Kobasew and Lombardi were all 23 or younger to start the season.

This team only Adam Ruzicka. None of Saprykin, Kobasew, or Lombardi had the AHL success that Pelletier, Phillips, or Zary have had.

Maybe we just need the 03-04 Sutter back because that coach was open to playing young players.
