All I know is that Gaudreau and Tkachuk seem infinitely more coachable than Huberdeau.
I mean how hard is it to just not give the puck away in 3v3? You could put me out there with two opposing NHL forwards coming towards me, and I could still put the puck somewhere that's easier for my guys to get it than theirs.
Say what you want about Chucky, but even though he clearly did not like Sutter's system/coaching/personality, he kept his mouth and did everything that he was asked to do.
The flipside I sometimes land on too is that we've traded for Doug Flutie when we have a coach who thinks QBs should never leave the pocket, and the only way to win is by running it straight up the gut for 3-4 yards a play.
