So, who were the players brought in for Sutter?
Lewis (likely) - Was decent in a 4th line role. Probably time to move on.
Brett Ritchie (likely) - Was also decent in a 4th line role.
Zadorov (likely) - He has been great for what he is.
Toffoli (likely) - Has been great, just had a career year
Nick Ritchie (likely) - Ok, meh on this one.
Richardson (likely) - Depth d-man who was pretty inconsequential.
Stecher (maybe) - Was really good in his role.
Rooney (probably not) - He was a bust, but Rooney did say when he was signed that the Flames tried to sign him when he was a free agent from NJ before Sutter was around, so he likely wasn't brought in just for Sutter.
I might be missing a few spare part types that didn't factor in much, but for the most part, the "Sutter" types that were brought in did pretty good.
