You can lead a horse to water, but the Flames under Ward were doing basically the minimum to maintain their level, happily playing soccer in practice, so not a surprise most were woefully out of shape coming out of Coivd. JG credited Sutter for getting him to train smarter and be in better shape, and the proof was in JGs season two years ago.
Sutter obviously had input on bringing Van Asten to LA, and he came here only because his wife was working here...my guess is Sutter's departure meant he may as well find a new challenge as well.
