It definitely felt like an old boys' group when Sutter was named; and I was fanboying it up on my end as well, 2004 just wasn't that long ago in my heart.
But this sounds professional, measured, and analytical. Some people will get hung up on the "just make the playoffs" comment, but you can't get past what a crapshoot hockey can be once the playoffs start. I don't think it's an unreasonable or unambitious stance to take.
I'm encouraged most by Huska's demeanor, which I confess I was completely unfamiliar with. He acts like he knows this is his shot, and I am pretty confident he'll do everything he can to succeed. Hopefully it's enough!
