We need to stop micro analyzing things to fit the narrative we want. Sutter’s coaching record speaks for itself. He’s an elite coach. It was clear it couldn’t go on with him, but unfortunately I think that says more about the players we have than him. Conny Shoukd take a long hard pause and decide if the group we have that wanted Sutter out really has what it takes to get the job done, and move on from those players (if he can) if he doesn’t think so. Conny knows what it’s like to play for Sutter so he should be a good judge.

The 2 elite guys on the team both wanted out after getting that amazing production says a lot too. Players like success and both Tkachuk and Gaudreau came off career years and said - eff this I'm out. Then a bunch of players after this year want out as well.
If you lose your 2 elite guys and then follow that up by having a bunch of other good players say they want out - it's probably not a player thing.
