A good coach gets the best results, team and players, from the players he has at his disposal. That’s simply not the case for anyone on this year’s team.

So we want to be the Oilers? McDavid goes out gets his 150 and Leon gets his 120 and they score 60 goals each but play the game the wrong way.
Their going to make the playoffs and maybe they win come playoffs, but I doubt they will win it all because their team is still being coached and the team plays a game that is more about padding stats then winning games, especially winning come playoff time.
IMO Sutter probably deserves to get fired but it doesn't change much if Huberdeau wants to play his fancy game. That will not cut it come playoff time no matter who the coach is.
