If your point is correct, shouldn't it be on the GM to bring in players who fit the style that the coach is trying to employ?

The players are a bit of a mix right now, is part of the problem. Huberdeau, Lindholm, Mangiapane and Toffoli seem like cycle guys who gain the zone and pass until something opens up. Backlund, Kadri, Dube, Coleman, Duehr, Pelletier are rush guys who don't look as much to pass - get in and make a play to the net.
I think the GM did try and suit Sutter a bit - hence Coleman, Kadri and, to an extent, Toffoli and Lewis (Sutter players). Hubderdeau Treliving acquired basically because he, with Weegar and the other pieces were simply the best return in a limited market. And we all were wowed by it.
