I think it's pretty simple, they need to get rid of Sutter obviously. I never would've hired him in the first place because what he is now is what he was always going to end up as, a prehistoric jerk favoring bad players and driving young / promising players away. I speculate the elite talent that's left recently has done so partly to get away from him, and the talent that remains won't be in any rush to sign extensions as long as he's still here. In the meantime there's an extremely expensive elite talent they're stuck with who needs to be removed from him as well. They'll just keep spinning their tires the longer they wait to get it done.
