I agree that dropping Sutter is easier, no question. But he’s working for everyone else and I don’t think anyone would argue we’ve somehow been so lucky that we end up with bad coaches far more than good ones. If you swap the coach to appease Huberdeau and it makes every other aspect of the team worse, is that worth it? Because then we’re right back to “fire everyone,” no?

Working for everyone else? mang is awful, Markstrom is putrid, Lindholm is set for a 50% drop in goals scored, Kadri fell of a cliff scoring wise from last years Hanifin is worse, Weagar is a poorer player. You don’t need a lot of fingers to count the guys Sutter is working out with.
