It was probably time to move on, but the Sutter hate on this board seems strange.

For me it's not about the on-ice results.
I have low tolerance for people that treat others poorly.
The narrative with Sutter has always been that he was tough in front of the camera, but behind the scenes he was a good guy (for the most part).
That didn't seem to be the case the last couple of years.
I don't think he was fired for on-ice results. The Flames just signed him to an extension that pays the man $3M per year. He has a relationship with Edwards. Do you think Edwards would swallow that if it was only about missing the playoffs?
