Say what you want about Sutter, but he got results...this team almost made the playoff with a team in my opinion that had too many player turnovers, and lost star players to free agency. the number one issue this year, goaltending, killed this team, coach can't fix that, and even with all the off ice drama, if this team makes the playoffs, less likely the coach gets canned.

Constant change is not good. Players need consistency, not a different approach every other year. Am I to believe that a coach like Mitch Love and rookies are going to lead this team to the promised land?

Do people really believe that Kadri and Huberdeau are cornerstone franchise players?, if so why was Florida so willing to let him go so easily.

This team should off rebuilt last year, it was a desperate move to try and salvage a horrible off season, I understand the move, but it did not work, time to rebuild, it's going to be forced on this management group very soon, whether they like it or not.

Just rebuild already, you have a new arena and now would be the perfect time

I want a rebuild too. But I’ve accepted that it won’t happen until “they’re dragged into it kicking and screaming” to quote Jiri. The last rebuild happened in 2013 when they had no choice. It could come sooner than later if Lindy and Backs still don’t have desire to sign back even with Sutter gone
