Kadri is almost on pace for a career high in goals, and on pace for his second best season in points. What’s the point of Huberdeau accumulating stats with a style of play that isn’t conducive to winning tough games?

True, when you look at the players Sutter has coached, there are several good skilled players who had career years under Sutter. I guess one could argue that many of those players were at their peak and would have had career years with any coach, but I don't think he holds players back from being creative offensively. They just need to focus on other areas too, and some players can't seem to chew bubblegum and walk at the same time. With Huberdeau, it might be a case of not being able to teach old dogs new tricks.
