It was Backlund, Lindholm, Hanifin, Tanev, as the key pieces that the organization wanted an opportunity to keep by firing Sutter. A year after losing Gaudreau and Tkachuk.
The team fired Sutter to stop losing any talented players that they had. Because even if Sutter wasn't the problem on ice, he certainly was a huge part of it off ice.

Weegar and Coleman both said publicly that Sutter had to go.
