Do those players suddenly suck?
Those coaches had Mike Smith, Cam Talbot, and Brian Elliott.
Markstrom has sucked, but he also has another goalie who is 7-0-3 in his last 10 starts but he continues to play the guy who sucks.

Kadri is on pace for a record number of goals. He isn't suddenly sucking. Huberdeau is taking some time to adjust that's for sure. Can you see how uprooting a core of a team and swapping it out isn't guaranteed to be an immediate success?
I would like to see Vladar play more too but I get it. If Markstrom gets his game back wouldn't you say his ceiling is one of the highest in the NHL? There is still half a season and Sutter has more patience than I would but he is a cup winning coach so he is entitled to that.
