How much was Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk's success because of Sutter...or how much was because they knew having great seasons was maybe the easiest way to get away from Sutter.
More and more it's feeling like the latter to me.
I'm not sure we can give Sutter credit for Tkachuk and Gaudreau having such a great season. I'm sure some of his system helped, but to me that feels more like it's 80% them and 20% Sutter at this point.
