I wouldn't be surprised if Sutter knows that the Flames have to start from square one.
He might think it's the only path towards contending for a cup.
If this is the case, he might not be as anti-rebuild as people think. As long as he remains long enough to reap the rewards.
Hopefully he starts to prioritize on-ice development. Development ultimately results in more winning. And Sutter's job is to make the team win. By "win" I mean winning a cup.
However, more likely, I think Sutter wants to team to come into camp with proper conditioning. I do think that the team will be quite a bit better next year. And if the team looks better, the prioritization on development might be thrown out the window.
But even if they succeed, the season might be a one-off, and the Flames will most likely return to mediocrity like they always do.
