Yea, I think I know which side I'm on here.

I don't really feel sorry for either party
I also feel like the flames deserve to be called out for their stubbornness for mediocrity and whittling their players down into hollow husks, rather than making it fun and exciting to play here, which it should be.
It's a great hockey town that deserves better
Sutter should be kept in check too. They give him too much reigns, and he goes full "beautiful mind" prehistoric dinosaur like this
It's up to ownership and management to ensure a good culture is being upheld here, and that the product is still exciting for the players and fans
They always give Sutter a bit too much trust and autonomy and eventually he makes himself the villain because of it
