This quote nails it:

The offence should have been built around Huberdeau, not having him plugged into a role that doesn’t suit his game. When you hand out the biggest contract in franchise history, you don’t expect that player to change his game. Somehow, someway, Sutter did

Trying to 'rebuild' Huberdeau was the first, but far from only, step Sutter took this year that left him on a completely different page than his GM and his players. It started them down a path that they would never be able to correct, a path that left the entire team, and organization, lost, confused, frustrated, mis-used, and ultimately failures.
I am/was one of Sutter's biggest supporters, but his performance this season will go down as one of the most disastrous in Flames' history. And for that, he HAS to be fired.
