I think Sutter was absolutely what the doctor ordered for the past three seasons, however I’m starting to strongly believe that he simply is not the right guy to lead this new group. This is a radically different core than the past few years. Sometimes these things just don’t work out and personalities don’t mesh like you’d hope. His failure to name a captain kind of says it all to me.
I have all the respect for Daryl as a person and I think he’s a great coach and a knowledgeable hockey mind. I really don’t want to fire the guy but I’m just not sure he’s what this team needs right now. Something isn’t clicking.
