The GM stepped down because he was told to make his middling roster win with an elite coach implementing a specific path towards winning with a middling roster and it didn’t work as expected.
The GM stepped down because he was tired of the Calgary wringer with continual limitations and might as well go through the same BS elsewhere but with Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Knies to start with.
Sutter had nothing to do with it. He would have known Sutter wasn’t locked in (as he wasn’t) before he made his final call to leave. He wanted a change.
