I'm convinced something happened there behind the scenes between players and it had more of a bearing on the season than we will ever hear. Remember Sutter after the move saying that "Lindy is our best player and he needs to like who he is playing with"?
Then later he said something like "Kadri and Huberdeau are professionals and they need to figure it out" about them playing together.
Something feels rotten behind the scenes and I think it was an issue between players. They never looked like they were having fun together and some blame coaching but to me the big give away that it was something else behind the scenes is they didn't seem to have each other's backs or fight for each other like they did last year. They never felt like a team thtlat would go to war for each other. Some guys did like Zadorov, Weegar and Tanev but that's about it I feel.
