I don't understand all the negativity and almost hatred towards him. We need to calm down a bit. First off, why are media guys like company wannabe freidman criticizing the coach on prospect usage. That's not part of his job. Everyone seems to have taken off with all this prospect usage. He has actually done a good job with the young guys. Remember Oliver kyllington and how he and Dillon dube progressed last year. This not liking young guys is exaggerated. Just like he is a dinosaur. He is very intelligent and knows what it takes to win. Sure we don't like some of his decisions but I will take him over Tre any day. I just don't want Sutter to be gm though.

He has had young guys in the lineup this year. Ruzicka has played about 33 games and 2nd pp. Zohorna,Duehr and Phillips have all played. Mackey has had his shot and did not look very good. The NHL is not a development league. You need to be ready to contribute right away. Sutter has obviously not liked what he has seen when these players have been given there chance. This is more of a lack of talent issue than not playing the prospects. The type of players that have drafted. More negativity needs to be directed at Treliving.
