And you know the easiest solution to this is to swap the coach, because an 8 year/8 figure contract is tough to move. But what then? Is the entire team from goaltender to coach supposed to be built around one winger? That seems wild.
I wouldn’t be upset if the Flames fired Sutter because realistically it’s the easiest option to try to get things working. But knowing you canned a cup-winner to appease a winger that’s never even done anything in the playoffs? Oof. Not exciting.

Both need to go but you can’t get rid of Huberdeau. Nobody would want to touch him. The only question left is can Sutter make it work with Huberdeau. Not the way he is doing it now, no matter how many cups he has won
