Doesn't make any sense to me.
I think it's more likely they're not seeing each other.
Lindholm, Toffoli, and Andersson the same.
Huberdeau = Gaudreau.
So he's looking at the group and has decided that Kadri is too crappy to play a skill game compared to Tkachuk ... so scrap it and go full meat head?

If you listen to Sutter pressers he constantly talks about this team as not having enough skill to play that kind of game and so they have to play "the right way" which is his way. Mentions shot volume a lot instead of making skillful plays. He also refers to them as a low-scoring team...but that again is due to style of play.
This honestly seems like a mind game to me. Constantly tell players they're not talented so they play to his system. It doesn't shock me at all to see players who are naturally gifted offensively struggle so much right now. His messaging is NOT doing this team any favors at the moment, and quite frankly, it's starting to piss me off. I can only imagine how the players feel about it. They don't seem to be having too much fun these days.
