Sutter hurts the team more in terms of development than he does in immediate performance.

I think the players are fine to be a bottom half play-off team that is a looking at best to have a 50/50 first round play-off series. The skaters are not close to what the top teams in the league have, they are not a contending level team with or without Markstrom ####ting the bed. I think any harm Sutter does in alienating certain players, he does good in providing structure to help keep the team in games they wouldn't under a different coach.
