Sutter needs to go.

Why won't he play Huberdeau on the top line?

Huberdeau/Lindholm/Toffoli
Dube/Kadri/Mangipane
Pelletier/Backlund/Coleman
Lucic/Ruzicka/Duehr - and ruduce 4th line minutes played

Huberdau on the second line is like dropping a Corolla engine in an F1 Car. Yeah it'll kinda work, but it's not going to win you any races!

All that said, this year should have been a development year! We replaced our core, expecting to make the playoffs was ridiculous. It is hard to fault Sutter for that, those expectations were completely delusional.

Phillips should have been given a real chance to develop! Could have gone, Dube/Kadri/Phillips (Mang/Backs/Cole) and really see what he can do! I hope Phillips gets signed elsewhere and becomes a regular top/mid 6 player! He deserves his chance!
