Now it is possible that Sutter's methods have worn out their welcome with this team but it is hard to say that was the problem last year when the roster is so weak.

I still think that for the most part, the skaters are fine. If Markstrom has only a bad season, and not a terrible season, the Flames are comfortably in a playoff spot.
Sutter hurts the team more in terms of development than he does in immediate performance.
