I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading this thread.

"The coach, the coach, its the coach, we need to fire another coach!!"

I mean sure, we probably do need a new one. Do I think Sutter has been good? Not really. Would I be sad or upset if he was let go? Not overly.

But with that being said, does ANYONE here really believe this team is a new coach away from contention? It's pretty clear to me we have much bigger problems then Sutter's line choices.

It's a poorly constructed team lacking top end talent. Full stop. In addition to that, the top end talent we do have has been ####ing the bed.

And more than anything else, if Sutter is fired I do NOT want BT hiring his replacement. BT is on his 5th coach. 9 seasons, 3 playoff round wins and if Sutter goes, 6 coaches? That would have to be some sort of record. A GM with no track record of success whatsoever hiring and firing 5 coaches during his tenure? That is ridiculous.
