It's just too easy though ...
Sutter coaches defensive awareness, pressure checking and high probability decisions in the two grey zones.
I can't see him telling his team not to pass the puck across seams and to ring it and only ring it when in the offensive zone.
The team lacks guys that can beat defenders one on one and because of that everything is a pass into traffic with a low probability.
Last year they has two of them.
This year they have Dube, Backlund and Andersson that beat players and create odd man chances.
That's it.
