But now this is the third time I've also heard it played a big role in Gaudreau leaving, and I do think that one is a bit more surprising since it seemed like they got along. Imagine choosing to take less money, and playing for Columbus because you couldn't stand playing for this coach anymore.
The no captain thing does seem so weird to me too - Sutter has been here three seasons now, two without a captain, you're telling me nobody on a roster full of veterans is able to wear the C.
Think it just speaks to overall how he treats these guys as nobody being good enough.

I only know about the Tkachuk and Gaudreau stuff through you guys, but like I said a few weeks ago this current group cant stand him, and I said people might be surprised but Lindholm is at the top of the list. The fact people may want our or not sign that was dropped is sounding like it might be true.
The no captain thing makes a lot of sense. He is taking charge that this is him team and he is the face of the franchise. He came here for unfinished business and wants to be the face of that. No doubt that is pissing guys off as they have no one that will take their message to him not that he would listen.
Remember when he did end of the season press conference last season, they asked him if he wants Johnny back and he just brushed it off and said he has nothing to say that hasn't been said. Lol couldn't even bring himself to say anything positive.
People think his little media digs mean nothing, but we are finding out they are being noticed by everyone.
Not sure why he has to be so miserable. Hockey is supposed to be a fun game, not sure what lures someone to a job so they can make other people detest them.
