I don't know, I think Sutters decisions definitely magnified player issues. I'd wager that his designs made the player performances worse than they would have been.
Nothing felt right this year, there wasn't a point where it felt like they were a save or a goal away from turning it all around.
I did say it all season though, it was a good year for a down year. And should have been expected more than a playoff push.
But all the smoke around Sutter reeks. Somethings not right for sure. Players or the coaches. There's a lot of work internally that needs to be done.
At least expectations will be lowered next season, or should be.
