Sutter is not running a meritocracy this season. Lucic went from the press box to the “top” line. Sutter really isn’t doing anything this year. He rolls 4 lines endlessly, even when the situation desperately requires something else.
I don’t think we have a lazy culture. Everyone on the team is working hard. The problem is that they’re being told to dig straight up.

Motivation requires 2 things. Carrot or stick. This is basic human nature.
Carrot? Contracts locked in for key guys. So that’s gone.
So stick. Meritocracy. You cannot afford not to have it.
That’s why you bring in young guys (who are producing…….). Young guys will still work for the carrot. Basic ####. If you’re not going to reward good play you have to punish bad play and he’s not doing it.
Main problem with the team is laziness likely derived from coaching.
