The problem with Sutter is that he wasn't willing to give anyone a chance. It wasn't until he was gone that the Flames' prospects started getting playing time, and some of them are pretty good.

Yep, if Sutter was still here, Zary and Pospisil would probably still be in the AHL as Sutter's mentality was basically players develop in the AHL until they learn to be vets.
