Well we can't re-sign all the pending UFA's anyway. For any of those that have a hard time playing for a demanding coach with a track record of winning, maybe they are not the ones we want.
Sutter puts pressure on his players, no doubt about that. I truly believe it's because he wants them to be better and be able to handle the inevitable pressure of a long playoff run.
I don't want to be the defender of all things Darryl and I've been pretty clear he says things that I just can't stomach. But racking up points on a team that plays a carefree style of hockey is no measure of success I'm interested in.
