Eric Francis said that he knows that the #Flames# were trying to sign a bunch of college free agents but they didn't want to come to Calgary because of Sutter and him not playing the younger players.
Yup, he did say that. I listened to the show last night. Him and Steinberg also echoed what posters on this forum who’ve given us inside information have said about Sutter being a part of the reason why both Johnny and Tkachuk wanted to go (He wasn’t the main reason obviously).

This is why I can’t get behind the posts calling Huby and Kadri “soft” and they “ran a HOF coach out of town because they couldn’t handle it”. It wasn’t even just those guys either in the locker room. It extended beyond the players to other parts of the org as well. You can’t keep a coach around who makes things that difficult. They had to let him go
