Can't remember the timing of the Sutter extension vs the decision made by JG and Tkachuk to get out of Dodge. Good luck in bringing in talent....really, who in their right mind would come north to play for this fool.

Not saying it's all his fault, but Treliving knew what kind of coach Sutter was coming in this season. I know there have been multiple posters who have pointed out that the team he built is not a team to do well in the style of player Sutter demands.
Not going to assign blame percentage-wise, but if your coach's system demands a certain type of player, and acquire different types of players, doesn't that mean the person who built the team shares some blame too?
