Why is it difficult to enter the season with a lame duck coach?
I mean players usually perform best in contract years. Why would a coach be different.
The contract extension seemed to embolden Sutter this past year. Would things have played out differently if we had waited? He’s stated he was only interested in coming back to coach Calgary or Chicago. Would it have been terrible to finish out the contract and see where things lay? He was gonna jet to Chicago for a huge pay raise after another year of success?
